Absent-Minded.
Stranger (in train): A man in your business 'ean’t get home very often, I presume? Commercial: Home! I should say not. Why, sir. I get home so seldom that I can’t remember half the time where I live. Have to telegraph to the firm to send me my address! Stranger: Y'ou don’t say so! Commercial: That’s straight. Why, one time I was away so long that I forgot I’d ever been married, and I took such a fancy to a pretty woman 1 met in a strange town that I eloped with her. Stranger: My! my! Commercial: Yes, it would have been a terrible thing, but when I called on the firm during my honeymoon and introduced her, the old man told me she was my wife before.
