Max: Once again, it’s time for Question of the Week, Kathy.

 Are you ready to play?

Kathy: I certainly am!

Max: This week, our question is: Who will have a longer life?

 Ready for the first question?

Kathy: Ready!

Max: O.K. In the United States, who do you think will have the longest life:

 married men,... married women,... single men,... or single women?

Kathy: Who will live the longest?

Max: That’s right.

Kathy: Hmmm... is it... married men?

Max: No.... it isn’t.

 Single women will have a longer life than any other group.

Kathy: How about single men?

Max: Single men will have the shortest lives.

Kathy: Wow...that’s bad news for single men.

Max: But good news for single women!

 Are you ready for the next question?

Kathy: Yes!

Max: All right...

 Who do you think will have a longer life: Americans with pets or Americans without pets?

Kathy: Which group do I think will live longer?

 Americans with pets, or Americans without pets?

Max: Yes... who will live longer?

Kathy: Well... I’m just guessing, but I think people with pets are happier, so they will have a longer life.

 Is that right?

Max: Yes! Americans with a cat or a dog have a longer life than Americans without pets.

Kathy: You have a dog, don’t you, Max?

Max: Yes. We love our dog, and he makes us happy.

Kathy: Maybe I’ll get a dog, too.

Max: Good idea.
