An elderly man was stopped . . .

An elderly man was stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and was asked
where he was going at that time of night.

The man replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and
the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying
out late."

The officer then asked, "Really? Who's giving that lecture at this
time of night?"

The man replied, "That would be my wife."

and stayed out to about 1 just laughing and drinking beer.

But since it was in Bangkok every late night arrival is accompanied with a couple of weeks of icy stares because it is assumed that you also took the guests to the well known massage parlors.

Just as we were about to leave I made my last trip to the men's room and when I got back I found that my Danish agent, who was not a very accomplished drinker, had been visited by one of the questionable street merchants and had purchased a puppy and a baby gibbon. He had sobered up enough to realize that he wouldn't be able to take them on the plane and so I ended up with them. When I got home at 2 in the morning and when I rang the door bell and escaped the lecture and the stares by simply handing my wife the puppy and the gibbon and said, "who knew that some Danes couldn't drink" (my Danish boss in the UN had a refrigerator in his office and started with his first beer at 10 in the morning and was never without one).

We raised the gibbon to maturity and donated it to a reserve.
