When I arrived at a friend's home for a party, my old
rattletrap looked pretty shabby parked next to all the fancy
new vehicles there. I announced to the other guests that
they'd have to excuse my transport, but my gardener had
requested my Rolls-Royce for a special occasion and so we
had traded cars for the day. Another partygoer said that he,
too, had switched cars. He said he had loaned his Rolls to a
friend who wanted to impress a new girlfriend.
Everyone laughed, and I felt rather pleased with my little
joke, until a few days later when I drove past the same man.
He was driving a Rolls-Royce.

Marathon
It was the finish line of the Boston marathon. A first time runner is
hobbling away, having just finished.
A grizzled old marathoner looks at him and says "You'll feel a lot
worse tomorrow."
He pauses and then says, "But the really bad news is that in about 3
days, you're going to think you had fun today."
