     Who Says Men Don’t Remember
     Moishe and Miriam Epstein were shopping at
     the mall. Suddenly Miriam looked around and
     Moishe was gone. Miriam was quite upset be-
     cause they had a lot of shopping to do. She
     searched for a while before she decided to
     call Moishe on his cell phone to ask him where
     he was.
     In a quiet voice he said, “Do you remember
     the jewelry store we went to about fi ve years
     ago, when you fell in love with that diamond
     necklace that we couldn’t afford and I told
     you one day - one day, I would get it for you?”
     Miriam choked up and started to cry. “Yes I
     remember that store,” she said trembling.
     “Good,” replied Moishe, “Because I’m at the
     ice cream store next door.”

     I have something very important to tell you,”
     said Rachel, upon her return home from col-
     lege after graduation. “I met a guy at school
     that I really like and we decided we are going
     to get married!”
