A woman and her husband, the mayor of a large city, were walking along the street one day when a construction worker on a nearby scaffolding leaned over and shouted, "Hello, Peggy." She turned to look and recognized him as being an old boyfriend from high school. She returned his greeting and they had a brief conversation before she and her husband continued their walk.
The mayor chuckled and said to his wife, "See there ,if you had married that fellow, you’d be the wife of a construction worker."
She looked at him and said, "no, dear, if I’d married him, he would be the mayor of this city."
