Two friends who hadn’t seen each other in years met in a supermarket. One woman asked, “Tell me Ruth, how is your son George?”
“He’s getting along fine,” Ruth replied. “He’s a poet. He just received his master’s degree in literature from the university.”
“And what about Mary?”
“She’s just as smart as George,” Ruth replied. “She graduated from college with a degree in modern art.”
“Wonderful!” “And how about little Freddy?” What is he doing?”
“Well, Ruth,” she said, “Freddy is still Freddy.” “He wouldn’t go to college – he became a plumber instead. If it weren’t for him, we’d all be starving.”
