I phoned up a really gorgeous ex-girlfriend of mine the other day. We lost

track of time, chatting about the wild nights we used to enjoy

together. I couldn't BELIEVE it when she asked if I'd like to meet up and

maybe rekindle a little of that magic.

"Wow!" I said "I don't know if I could keep pace with you now! I'm a bit

older and a bit balder than when you last saw me!"

She giggled and said she was sure I'd meet the challenge!

"Yeah," I said, "Just so long as you don't mind a man with a waistband

that's a few inches wider these days!"

She laughed and told me to stop being so silly! She teased me, saying she

thought tubby bald men were cute!

"Anyway", she said, "I've put on a couple of pounds myself!"

So I hung up.
