Baseball Scores Vs. Anniversary Bores

(I am at lunch, speaking with an older colleague.)

Friend: “My anniversary is coming up, but I cannot remember which year. I don’t want to ask my wife.”

Me: “Can you remember anything that happened that day?”

Friend: “I remember watching the World Series on TV while I was putting on my tux.”

Me: “Who was playing?”

Friend: “New York Yankees.”

Me: “Duh! They played most of the World Series when you were young. Who were they playing?”

Friend: “Oh! St. Louis Cardinals.”

Me: “1964.”

Friend: “Thanks, that helps a lot! My wife will be impressed with my memory!”
