What We Set Out to Do

My dog Rexy and I announced that we were going to walk around the world.

We set out with great expectations, but after about ten miles we got tired and took a cab home.

On the way back, the cabbie looked back and said, “Hey, aren’t you the two who were going to walk around the globe?”

We said yes and that we changed our minds.

The cabbie said, “My wife said she’d leave me if I didn’t start taking better care of myself. So I said that I would. That lasted about a day.”
