Two long-married people clash over football player

February 8th, 2007 · No Comments

Betsy to Frank: Do you know who Jerry Rice is? I think he’s a football player?

Frank to Betsy: Yes, of course. He’s probably the greatest wide receiver of all time. Why?

Betsy to Frank: Huh–well, I just saw him at the gym. He seemed like a very sweet person.

Frank to Betsy: No, I don’t think you saw Jerry Rice, the world’s greatest wide receiver. Maybe somebody else whose name was Jerry Rice.

Betsy to Frank: Why couldn’t I have seen the real, famous Jerry Rice? Why would I have him mixed up with somebody else.

Frank to Betsy: Because I don’t think Jerry Rice works out at your gym.

Betsy to Frank: [Pause, as the penny drops.] Oh. What I meant was that I saw the real Jerry Rice today when I was at the gym. I was at the gym, and he was cooking something on a TV show.
