A lecturer went to give a speech about Mother’s Day. He started with the words:
“The best days of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who is not my wife.” The room
was silent. He continued, “That woman was my mother.”
A man in the audience was inspired by this quote and happened to be making an address of
his own later that day. So he went up, and declared:
“The best days of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who isn’t my wife.” The room was
dead silent. The man stood there awkwardly, having forgotten the ending part of the line. So
he finished with, “And I don’t even remember who she was.”
