Ed and Ted met for the first time in twenty years. "So, how's life
been for you?" Ed asked.
"Not too good," Ted replied. "My first wife died of cancer, my second
wife turned out to be a lesbian and ran off with another woman and
took all our savings, my son's in prison for trying to kill me, my
daughter got run over by a bus, my house was hit by a low-flying
aircraft, my vintage car rolled off the dock into the sea, I had
to have my dog put down recently, my doctor says that I have an
incurable disease and to cap it all my business has just gone bust."
"Shit, that sounds terrible", Ed said. "What business were you in?"
"I sell good luck charms," said Ted.
