"On a business trip in California, I realized that I had forgotten my wife's birthday. Assuming I was in big trouble, I went to the jewelry section of a San Francisco department store. After explaining to the saleswoman that I desperately needed a gift to make up for my forgetfulness, she quipped, 'I'm sorry, but we don't have anything that expensive.'"
- Edwin L. Ray, Reader's Digest, quoted in The Story File (Hendrickson Publishers, 2000)
