Bad Signs Of The Zodiac

(It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and I have the local paper open to the puzzles and astrology.)

Friend: “Oh, read mine. I’m Virgo. ”

Me: “You could go overboard when celebrating your Irish heritage. Resist your tendency to overindulge.”

Friend: “Well, I’m all German, so it doesn’t fit. But that is SO my husband!”

(My friend stops and reconsiders.)

Friend: “But he’s Scottish. And he’s in New Orleans. And he’s not a Virgo.”

(I and another friend whoop with laughter.)

Friend: “That was stupid, wasn’t it?”

Me: “No, that was brilliant! Comedy gold!”
