It's been fun

I'm not the easiest guy to get along with.
So when our anniversary rolled aroung, I wanted my wife to know how much I appreciated her tolerating me for the past 20 years. I ordered flowers and told the florist to enclose a card that read, "Thanks for putting up with me so long."
When my wife got the delivery, she called me at work. "Where are you going?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" I said.
She read the card aloud as the florist had written in: "Thanks for putting up with me. So long."
句読点も大事ですね。
ここまで書いていて、先日の１７日が自分達の "anniversary" だった事に気が付きました。しかも上記の倍の４０周年記念でした。幸い家内も忘れているようです。１０年後の "anniversary" にもしまだ生きていれば私も花でも買って見ようと思いますが、多分忘れるでしょう。
