My wife woke from her slumbers at about three A.M, came down stairs and sat beside me while I was finishing this. She had heard the story the day before. We chatted a bit and I asked her if she wanted to hear what I just wrote. By the time I was about halfway through she was laughing at me and shaking her head, "Another digression? The punchline is one sentence long, why didn't you just write the thing in two paragraphs?"
