My wife’s aunt used to be very rich. She was married to a brain surgeon who was also on the board of directors for all the local hospitals, earning double paychecks. She was a platinum member of a local casino and would invite us over, for free.
Her husband lost his medical license for writing too many scripts for painkillers to her and other people, and they both now live in Mexico somewhere.

“I’ve been offered another job, and I’m taking it. I’m putting in my notice,” I told my manager. He replied, “Oh, well, we hate to lose you. Do you mind me asking where you will be going?”
I mentioned the name of the company, and he made this face, adding that he had applied for the same position. Then, I ended the conversation by saying, “I’m sorry to tell you that you didn’t get it.”
