Went to the drug store today to buy a small bottle of almond oil.

A woman next to me in line asked me why I was buying the stuff. She
looked at me like I was into some form of erotica.

"In a million years, you'd never guess why I'm buying almond oil," I
answered.

I admit that, in retrospect, there was a trace of superiority in my voice.

"I give up," she said.

"I'm getting it to oil the bore of a clarinet," I said. "See, I told you
you'd never guess."

"Well," she responded, "of course I couldn't guess that. I didn't think
anyone played the clarinet anymore."

Oooo....
