[Ads-l] Heard: dialogue, sly use of euphemism?

[Wilson Gray]

A: middle-aged mother and B: adult daughter discussing mom's upcoming
evening out:

A. This is going to be my first date in nearly thirty years!
B. Nobody after Dad, huh?
A. Nobody *before* your father, either. Only one man has tapped this keg.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
