Illustration: Choices, Lost and Found

Two older men are pushing their carts around Wal-Mart when they collide. The first old guy says to the second guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

The second old guy says, "That's OK. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little anxious."

The first old guy says, "Well, maybe I can help you find her. What does she look like?"

The second old guy says: "Well, she is 27 years old, tall, with long red hair, blue eyes, and is very pretty. What does your wife look like?"

The other old guy says, "Doesn't matter -- let's look for yours."
