“I stayed in a beautiful home,” she said. “You could tell it belonged to a single woman by its decor.”
“How?”
“Well, like the pillows on the bed. She had thirteen pillows on the bed.”
“How does that indicate it belonged to a single woman?”
“Because another woman would say, “Oh, thirteen pillows, how lovely.” A man would say, “Why do you have thirteen pillows?”
Well, she had him there; it was what he’d been thinking.
