She: "Why can't anything like that ever happen to me!" She B: "Excuse me? This from the woman with a Tribune by-line!" Me: "This from the woman who
She: "Yes, she got some very good news. We've got to celebrate. 'Bye!" G (over-hearing): "Excuse me, but I'm going to butt in. What's your good news?

She: "I drank last night. I know gave it up for Lent, but this was a work situation!" Me: "So Lent goes one day longer for you?" She: "Yeah, I suppose so." She B: "Well Ladies, I think I'll take up drinking for Lent." Me: "Oooooh, I like the idea of doing something rather than
He: "Do you remember that film Logan's Run? It was a lot like Blade Runner, I thought." Me: "How can you even draw comparisons between the two? Logan's Run was a shallow romp whereas Blade Runner was a dark vision of the future. And the women in Logan's Run? All one dimensional. They were at
