Sam has been in the computer business for 25 years and is finally
sick of the stress.
He quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in Vermont
as far from humanity as possible. Sam sees the postman once a
week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it's total peace
and quiet. After six months or so of almost total isolation,
he's finishing dinner when someone knocks on his door. He
opens it and there is a big, bearded Vermonter standing there.
"Name's Enoch... Your neighbour from four miles over the ridge...
Having a party Saturday... Thought you'd like to come."
"Great," says Sam, "after six months of this I'm ready to meet some
local folks. Thank you."
As Enoch is leaving he stops, "Gotta warn you there's gonna be some
drinkin'."
"Not a problem... After 25 years in the computer business, I can drink
with the best of 'em."
Again, as he starts to leave Enoch stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be
some fightin' too."
"Damn", Sam thinks... "Tough crowd." "Well, I get along with people.
I'll be there. Thanks again."
Once again Enoch turns from the door. "I've seen some wild sex at
these parties, too."
"Now that's not a problem" says Sam, "Remember I've been
alone for six months! I'll definitely be there... By the
way, what should I wear?"
Enoch stops in the door again and says, "Whatever you want, just
gonna be the two of us."
