Thats' Great!

After 20 years two college rivals bumped into each other. "Do you remember how I used to be
so fat and flabby?' asked the first. "Well, I've been on an exercise program for a few
years, and now I run marathons."
"Thats' great!" replied the other man.
"And," the first man continued, "do you remember how I used to be shy and a poor student? Well,
I took a course in public speaking, and now I make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on
the lecture circuit"
"That's great!" came the reply.
"Oh, and how about you?" the first man asked. "Have you changed at all?"
"Well, yes I have, replied the second man. "Remember how brutally honest I used to be,
and how when someone said something uninteresting, I would reply, "I couldn't care less?" Well now I
just say, "Thats' great!"
