DRINKING COFFEE AND TALKING
One evening a man and his wife called another couple to see what they were doing. "Oh," said the other wife, "we're just drinking coffee and talking."
As she hung up the phone, she demanded, "Why don't we ever do that? They're just drinking coffee and talking."
Her husband said, "So make a pot of coffee."
They sat with their freshly brewed coffee, just staring at each other in silence. "Well, call them back," he directed, "and find out what they're talking about."
