Mrs.Green and her neighbor, Mrs. Kenyon, are having a chat one day.

" Mrs. Green", says Mrs. Kenyon, " May be it's none of my business, but after all we've been friends a long time and I'm concened about your reputation. You're divorced, that's true, but people are talking about you. It just doesnt look right when an 18 year old boy comes every night and visits till such a late hour."

" well ", Mrs. Green smiles. " dont worry about it. It's purely a platonic relatioship."

" How can it be paltonic? " Mrs. Kenyon asks.

" It's a play for him and tonic for me! " answers Mrs. Green.
