Jan,
Sue and Mary hadn't seen each other since High School. They
rediscovered each other via a reunion website and arranged to meet for
lunch at a wine bar.
Jan arrived first wearing beige Versace. She ordered a bottle of Pinot
Grigio.
Sue arrived soon after, dressed in a gray Chanel. After the obligatory
kisses, she joined Jan in a glass of wine.
Then Mary walked in - - dressed in blue jeans and boots, wearing a
faded old t-shirt. She too shared the wine.
Jan explained that after High School and graduating from Princeton in
Classics, she met and married Tom, with whom she had a beautiful
daughter - Susanna. Tom is a partner in a New York leading law firm.
They live in a 4,000 sq ft co-op on 5th Avenue , where Susanna attends
drama school. They have a second home in Phoenix .
Sue related that she graduated from Harvard Med School and became a
surgeon. Her husband, Clive, is a leading Wall Street investment
banker. They live in Southampton on Long Island and have a second home
in Naples , Florida.
Mary explained that after High School, she ran off with her boyfriend,
Jim. They own a tropical bird park in Colorado and grow their own
veggies. Jim can stand 6 parrots, side by side, on his penis.
Halfway down the 3d bottle of wine, and several hours later, Jan
blurted out that her husband was actually a cashier at Wal-Mart. They
live in a small apartment in Brooklyn and have a travel trailer parked
at a nearby storage facility.
Sue, embarrassed and feeling guilty, and encouraged by her dear
friend's honestly, confesses that she and her husband are both nurse's
aids in a retirement home. They live in New Jersey and take their
vacations on camping trips to Alabama.
Mary admits that the 6th parrot has to stand on one leg.
