No, Really

Conversation while compiling the guest list for the VF*n*W Military Ball this year:

Wilma: You don't have any of the Mens Auxiliary members yet.
RM: I know. I'm afraid to send an invitation to Dicky Rhoades.
Wilma: Why?
RM: I'm afraid he'll have a better gown than me.
Wilma: He might. His purses are better than mine.
