"That was for the piece of paper I found in your pant's pocket with the name Betty Lou written on it!" she replied. "Two weeks ago I went to the horse races and that was the name of one of the horses I bet on," he explained. "Oh honey, I'm so sorry!" she said, "I should have known there was a good explanation!"

She replied, "Your horse called!" Thanks CD for e-mail!
