Overheard in an elevator last week-

 Two women were discussing what to do with all of their masks when the pandemic is over.

One said, “Maybe we can sew them together and make bikini tops!”

The other began to giggle.

“What’s so funny?”

“I guess my husband will have to wait for an invite to a Masked Ball!”

Back in the day (before the turn of the century), I was in Boston, having a beer with my coworker. We were discussing the recent new hires and I said. “That Nancy (not her real name, of course.) is not bad looking. What do you think?”
“Hmmm…she’s okay.”
“Okay, as in ?”
“If we were stranded together on a deserted tropical island, she’d be okay.”

Six months later, I am back in Boston and having a beer with my friend and I asked him, “So, how’s your love life?”
With a rather sheepish look on his face he said, “I’m doing okay.”
