"By the way, how's your niece? Does she ever ask about me?"

Between outbreaks of the giggles

Actually she got married to a real nice guy from Switzerland. His brother came to visit at Christmas time with his fiance. They are both "professional" basketball players in Switzerland. Obviously his fiance plays on the ladies' team but looks more like a "super-model". All of 6' tall and all sorts of blonde.

Anyway it never would have worked between you and my niece, she can easily out belch you Just like a truck driver!
