One day a woman was having lunch with her husband. They were sitted at one of the best tables at the Cafe where they enjoyed a view of everything that was going on. They spotted an old friend across the restaurant, and she said, "Isn't that Jack?"
"Yes, it is", answered her husband.
"And, who is that pretty young girl he is with?", she queried.
"Oh, that's his mistress", the husband said sheepishly.
"My Lord", she cried, "that is terrible. How can he do such a thing at his age?"
Just then their meal came and they tucked into some delicious goose liver pate' washed down with some lightly chilled dry white wine. As they were eating, along came another pretty, young lady and stopped to talk to the husband. He seemed to know her very well, and they chatted amicably for some minutes. After the young girl left, the wife asked, "And, who was that then?"
"Oh, that is my mistress." he answered.
"What? I want a divorce!" she cried.
"Okay, but you realize all our wealth is tied-up in this joint venture I'm working on, and that I am leveraged up to my eyeballs. You will have to go back to work. And, you will have to give up the Club and the expensive shops. Plus, the weekend home and the Mercedes, too" he intoned.
She fell silent and thought about this for a while, until the next course came, which was a beautiful plate of wild game and vegetables, which went perfectly with the bottle of French red wine.
Then she said, "Our mistress is prettier than Jack's, isn't she?"
