Bill and Steve are enjoying a beer and

discussing the possibility of love. “I thought I was in love three times,”

Bill says.

“Thought?” Steve asks. “What do you mean?”

“Three years ago, I cared very deeply for a woman who wanted nothing

to do with me,” Bill says.

“Wasn’t that love?” Steve asks.

“No, that was obsession,” Bill explains. “Then two years ago, I

cared very deeply for an attractive woman who didn’t understand
me.”

“Wasn’t that love?” asks Steve.

“No, that was
lust,” Bill replies. “And just last year, I met a
woman while I was on a
cruise. She was gorgeous, intelligent, a great
conversationalist
and had a super sense of humor. Everywhere I followed her
on that
ship, I would get a very strange sensation in the pit of my
stomach.”

“Well, wasn’t that love,” asks Steve.

“No. That was
motion sickness!” Bill replies.
