Importance of the Right Word
One early morning a few weeks ago my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I was still sleepy and pointed at my old watch and said, "I need a new watch. Why don't you go downtown and pick up one of those expensive and beautiful Rolodexes?" She laughed and said something about "You can take the boy out of the country, but not the country out of the boy."
Anyway, guess what I got for my birthday? Yup:
Isn't it a beauty? I didn't even know you could still buy a Rolodex. And, alas, I'm wearing the same old watch ... The brand name starts with T and not R, btw.
