In the 24 years Cindy and I were together, I never once forgot our Anniversary. But she did...

We were shopping at a store called Cash and Carry, Cindy was asking me what I wanted for dinner. She starts naming off all of my favorite foods. "Would you like some Spaghetti?" In my best whiny voice I said "No, I don't any Spaghetti." Then she says "Would you like _____?" and I replied the same way. We did that like dozen times. As we were waiting in the checkout line, and there had to be at least 20 or more people near us, she says "So what do you want then? A Cheeseburger?" And still being as whiny as I could possibly sound without laughing, I said "No, I don't a Cheeseburger."So now she's mad and she says "Well, that's what you're gonna get." I sort of repeated what I said, but with a little addon. "No, I don't a Cheeseburger. And I don't want to eat at home either."

"Well, where do you want to eat?" she practically screamed at me.

I calmly replied in my normal voice, I said "Marcelli's."

Then she got it. Marcelli's was this cozy little 5 table Italian restaurant, where we had gone on our anniversary for about 10 years. She started to cry, and said about a hundred times "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I just smiled and said "Happy Anniversary, honey." And everyone nearby started clapping.

So an hour or so later we get to Marcelli's and the owner's Wife came over and said "Wow, look at you two, mettersi in tiro!" (That's Italian for "all dressed up.") We told her it was our Anniversary. She says "Excellent, and what would you like this evening?"

I said "I'll have a Cheeseburger..."
