Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few
times a week to play cards. One day they were playing cards
when one looked at the other and said, “Now don’t get mad at
me…..I know we’ve been friends for a long time…..but I
just can’t think of your name! I’ve thought and thought, but
I can’t remember it. Please tell me what your name is.”
Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just
stared and glared at her. Finally she said, “How soon do you
need to know?”
