A husband and wife are having a friendly debate one night, centered on the topic of who has better friends. They each offer a wide variety of anecdotes and stories, but in the end, they decide to put it to the test. βHereβs what weβll do,β the wife suggests. βIβl call your friends, and you call mine. Weβll both pretend that the other person hasnβt come home yet, and that weβre worried.
Whoeverβs friends give the best advice about where to find us clearly know us better, and therefore are better. βThe husband agrees to the game, and they both head off into separate rooms. When they reconvene a half an hour later, the husband looks defeated. βWell, honey,β he says, βI think itβs pretty clear that you have better friends. Every one of them listed each of your favorite restaurants, salons, shops, and art galleries, and they had phone numbers for each of them. They knew your work hours by heart, your office extension, your bossβs name, and even the route that you take home. βThe wife shakes her head. βNo, dear,β she replies, βyou have better friends. βWhy do you say that?β asks the husband. βWell,β the wife replies, βmost of them said that youβd been at their place, and three of them said that you were still there.β
