Long Celebration

A man and his wife are dining at a table in a plush restaurant, and the wife keeps staring at a drunken guy swigging his drink as he sits alone at a nearby table.

The husband asks, "Do you know him?"

"Yes," sighs the wife, "He's an ex-boyfriend. I heard he took to drinking right after we split up seven years ago, and I heard he hasn't been sober since."

"My God!" says the husband, "Who would think that he could go on celebrating that long?"
