7/28/04

So, the wife calls me in court today and tells me about an interesting conversation that took place at HER office.  What follows is a transcript (more or less) of what happened...she's begun to work on a new patient and is making small talk.

"So," Kim says, "what do you do for a living?"                                                      

"I'm a defense attorney," her patient says.                                                                

"That's interesting," Kim replies, "my husband works at the courthouse.  He's an in-court clerk in Judge Gehl's divison."                                                                      

"Really?  One of my best friends is an in-court clerk.  Her name is (former Mrs. Me #1).                                                                                                                   

"Oh," Kim says, "that's even more interesting.  That's my husband's ex-wife."       

"Really?  I didn't even know that (former Mrs. Me #1) had been married before." 

"Well actually I think they were married when she was pregnant with her daughter." 

"Ya know what?  I think I do remember her mentioning that now that you mention it."                                                                                                                      

"Well", Kim says, "I will say this.  I'm actually Jeff's 3rd wife, and he has never had a bad thing to say about either of his ex-wives.  A lot of guys really bad mouth their ex-wives, but not Jeff."

When she told me that....I said....."good answer dear, that was a good answer."

And so it goes......
