Judy Goldstein and David Horowitz were getting married, and it was only three days before the wedding. Judy calls her mother with some bad news. "Mom," she says, "I just found out that David's mother has bought the exact same dress as you to wear to the wedding."

The bride's mother thinks for a minute. "Don't worry," she tells her daughter. "I'll just go and buy another dress to wear to the ceremony."

"But mother," says Judy, "that dress cost a fortune. What will you do with it? It's such a waste not to use it."

"Who said I won't use it?" Mrs. Goldstein asked. "I'll just wear it to the rehearsal dinner."
