A husband and wife were sitting at a table at their high school reunion, and the husband kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.

Eventually, his perturbed wife asked, "Do you know her?"

"Yes," he sighed, "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."

"My God!" said his wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"
