At a dinner party, several of the guests were arguing whether men
or women were more trustworthy.

"No woman can keep a secret," said one man, scornfully.

"I don't know about that," answered a woman guest.  "I have kept
my age a secret since I was twenty- one."

"You'll let it out someday," the man insisted.

"I hardly think so!" responded the lady. "When a woman has kept a
secret for twenty-seven years, she can keep it forever!"
