Bev was a real estate agent in New
York City. She usually left home about 10 a.m. She never drank or ate anything
until she returned home. "You need energy. Eat some lunch," her
husband said. "I can't eat anything after I leave the house. I don't carry
a toothbrush or toothpaste," she said. "No problem. Put them into
your purse," he said. "That's extra weight," she said.
"Every day I walk 30 blocks. I climb 20 flights of stairs. My purse is so
heavy. Besides, it's full. I don't have room in my purse. Look." He looked
into her purse. It was full. He lifted it. It was heavy. "Well, you should
at least drink lots of water. I'm sure all that walking makes you
thirsty," he said. "I get thirsty, but I don't dare drink," she
said. "It's too hard to find a clean place to pee!"
