So, "Who's Monica?," Mona had asked Ted. Was this a big mistake on his part or a little one easily explained away? Time for a quick decision by Ted.
"Did I say 'Monica?' Are you sure?"
"I'm sure," replied Mona in a calm voice.
"Well, I apologize for that. Let me think. The only Monica I know is...a dentist I used once while traveling on business."
"Seems she made a big impression on you."
"She did fix a bad tooth ache, but please let's not make a big deal out of it. How 'bout dinner Saturday night?"
"Are you trying to change the subject?"
"Maybe."
"Was she beautiful?"
"Was she beautiful? I dunno. Maybe."
"Where's she a dentist?"
"North Carolina."
"That's a big state. Remember the city?"
"Ah...Chapel Hill."
"Maybe I should go there when I need a dentist. What d'ya think, Ted?"
"Maybe. So, what about dinner Saturday night, Mona?"
"Maybe."
