Dinner Party

**MSFixR** · 09-29-2009, 06:16 AM

My dinner party was headed for disaster.

One man, an insurance salesman, was monopolizing the conversation with a lengthy account of recent litigation involving himself. Since two other guests were lawyers, I was becoming increasingly uneasy.

"In the end," the salesman concluded, "you know who got all the money."

I cringed.

"The lawyers!" he shouted.

There was embarrassed silence at the table. My heart was pounding until the wife of one lawyer said, "Oh, I love a story with a happy ending."
