# We were shopping together at the computer store. My husband was getting some IBM software while I was getting some Macintosh software as we were checking out, the clerk, noticing the software was for different systems looked at us as if we had made a mistake. “There is no mistake,” my husband said, “We are a mixed marriage.”

@ Did you hear about the chemist who worked long hours in his basement at night and developed an automatic pool cleaning system? It was a Horatio Algae story.

An adult piano student of mine asked me teach her Pachabel’s Canon, so she could play at a friend’s wedding. After a month of practice, however she had made very little progress, and I warned her that she might not be ready to play the piece at the wedding very soon. “Oh, that’s okay,” she replied, “Her boyfriend hasn’t proposed yet.”
