overheard at dinner

We overheard this conversation between a husband and his wife at dinner Saturday night:

Husband -- Honey, I've got good news and bad news.

Wife -- Ok

Husband -- I'll give you the good news first

Wife -- ...

Husband -- Good news is I'm finally going to write a book

Wife -- Oh, that's great! I'm so excited for you!

Husband -- Bad news is it's going to be the definitive guide to whoring around the world. 

Wife -- Oh,,,

Husband -- And I'm talking almanac level of detail, every major city on the planet, and a lot of smaller destination type cities. It could take years. 

Wife -- ...

Husband -- And even after it's finished I'll have to keep updating it because a lot of these women have a short shelf-life --- if you know what I mean.

Wife -- I don't know what to...

(the waiter walks over)

Waiter -- Can I start you two off with something to drink?

Wife -- (thinks about it for a second) I'll have a dirty martini, with Kettle One.

Waiter -- And for you sir?

Husband -- Water's fine.
