Sara & her boyfriend were taking his 19-year-old niece to a weekend festival. When they arrived at her house to pick her up, she appeared in tasteful but very short shorts and a tank top with spaghetti straps. A debate began immediately about appropriate dress. Sara took the girl's side, recalling that when we began dating, she had dressed the same way.

Mark's flight was delayed in Auckland. Since the gate was needed for another flight, his aircraft was backed away from the terminal, and they were directed to a new gate. We all found the new gate, only to discover a third gate had been designated for our plane. Finally, everyone got on board the right plane, and the flight attendant announced: "We apologize for the gate change.

"Sorry," he said, "wrong plane."

Jim was getting into his car when he noticed a dent. On the windshield was a note and a phone number from the driver.
"I feel terrible," the woman apologized when he called. "I hit your car as I was pulling into the next parking spot."

"Thank you for your understanding," she said. "You're so much nicer than the man I hit on the way out."
