Anniversaries
Illustration★★A man entered a greeting card store and asked the clerk for a
“birthday/anniversary” card. “We have birthday cards,” the
clerk said, “and we have anniversary cards. Why not take one
of each?” “You don’t understand,” the man answered. “I need a
card that covers both events. You see, we’re celebrating the
fifth anniversary of my wife’s thirty-fourth birthday.”
