Today's Joke:
Here's a bit of neat trivia. Two decades ago, Paul Simon announced their existence to the world. Forty five (45) ways to leave your lover. But Paul, either out of possessiveness or sheer ignorance, did not list them all; he merely repeated the same five ways over and over in his song. And one was, "you don't need to be coy, Roy," which isn't even a way so much as a really bad rhyme.

Until now, we've had to take the other forty ways on faith. The wait is over. After much investigation, here are The Other Forty....

Let's remember the five "ways" Paul already gave us:
(1) Slip out the back, Jack
(2) Make a new plan, Stan
(3) You don't need to be coy, Roy
(4) Hop on the bus, Gus
(5) Drop off the key, Lee

Now, the rest:

(6) Hop on your cycle, Michael
(7) Flag down a cabbie, Abby
(8) Ride off in your Porsche, Portia
(9) Ask to be free more, Seymour
(10) Say you need space, Grace

(11) Send a facsimile, Emily
(12) Send her to Paris, Harris
(13) Put her on the spot, Scott
(14) Mention your spouse, Klaus
(15) Tell her you're gay, Ray
(16) Tell her you're straight, Kate
(17) Take back the diamond, Simon
(18) Give the ususal spiel, Neil
(19) Wish him death, Beth
(20) Call her a (very bad name to call a woman), Rich

(21) Hire a hit man, Rip Van
(22) Just be yourself, Dick
(23) Throw her off a bridge, Etheridge
(24) Sweep her under a rug, Doug
(25) Give him salmonella, Priscilla
(26) Fit her for concrete pants, Lance

(30) Bury her under the floorboards, Edgar

(31) Make him fret, Juliet
(32) Kick him in the spleen, Nadine
(33) Tell her you just chillin', Dylan
(34) Mention your V.D., Edie
(35) Use your auto, Otto
(36) Give her "Boo, hisses!," Ulysses
(37) Be open & honest to her about how, although you love her,
you think you need some time apart to grow and find out how
you really feel, Shaquille
(38) Maybe a Winchester, Esther?
(39) Let it get all messy, Jessie
