My wife Sylvia and I have been staying at our fancy digs in Boca. The other night, we were on their way out to dinner, when Sylvia comes into the living room and asks, "Darling, do you think this Chanel suit is OK, or should I wear my beaded Oscar de la Renta dress?"
"Wear whatever you like, darling. You look lovely in either."
Ten minutes later, she's back. "Should I wear my diamond earrings or the emerald and sapphire ones you bought me for my birthday?"
"Either one," I say with growing impatience.
Soon she's back, modeling shoes. "Should I wear these Gucci sandals or the Ferragamos?"
"Enough already!" I yelled. "If you don't get your act together right now, we're going to miss the Early Bird Special!"
