Putting foot in mouth

[R o W]

Your wife asked you the wrong question.     It should have been "What
would you do if all of your friends no longer existed?"   (all 30,000 of
them)   What would you do if you COULDN'T go anywhere in the country &
much of the world knowing you would find friends and 'family'???        
I know MY life would be much emptier.
