Subject: Mrs JimJr Rides Again

When I worked at Headquarters, Mrs JimJr would sometimes meet me there for lunch. As we were going down in the elevator, a high-octane secretary got on.

She poked me in the ribs and said "Hi there cutie-pie."

Mrs JimJr, ever unflappable, smiled and said to her, "Hi there yourself. I'm Mrs Pie."

At a party one time, I was talking to this really knock-out lil' thang while Mrs JimJr was conversing with the hostess in another room. I excused myself to get us some drinks.

As I returned, having been delayed by a brief chit-chat, I saw her talking to Mrs JimJr, and knowing all about military strategy concerning wives, I turned and hid behind a group.

I heard the blonde say, "I was talking with the nicest man a moment ago. I don't know where he went."

Mrs JimJr simply said, "Perhaps he saw me come in. He's my husband."

Sometimes I might over-do the "my wife she" jokes at social events. I knew on the way home by her silence that Mrs JimJr was fuming.

I told her that I was sorry and apologized.

She said, "OK, next time, how about insulting me in the car and apologizing at the party ?"

Not sure how many of you still attend high school reunions, but not long ago, I went to my 35th. On the way home, I said, "It was so nice to see all my old friends again. So many of them thought I was dead."

"Not if they looked closely." replied Mrs JimJr w/a smirk.

We all know at least one -- the classic bore. Mrs JimJr and I had one over for dinner not long ago, and all he could talk about was his trip to the Grand Canyon. This went on for what seemed like hours.

As we sat down at the table, he said, "There I stood; drinking in the scene, with the giant abyss yawning before me."

As Mrs JimJr was passing him a vegetable bowl, she said, "Oh ? And was it yawning before you got there ?"
