Every one was gathered for Thanksgiving - a family reunion. The very wealthy man looked around the table at his two sons and five daughters - as well as their spouses. "Not a single grandchild! Why?

For months I have been Valerie's devoted admirer. Now, at long last, I had collected up sufficient courage to ask her the most momentous of all questions. "There are quite a lot of advantages to being a bachelor," I began, "but there comes a time when one longs for the companionship of another being...a being who will regard one as perfect, as an idol; whom one can treat as one's absolute property; who will be kind and faithful when times are hard; who will share one's joys and sorrows..." To my delight I saw a sympathetic gleam in her eyes. Then Valerie nodded in agreement. She replied," I think its a great idea... I would love to help you choose your pet dog."
