Tell me, is this funny? Is it a pun? :--
R: "I'm depressed because my girlfriend is out of town."
A: "Mine is too, probably."
R: "Your girlfriend? Who's that?"
A: "No idea. But whoever she is, odds are she's out of town."
R, laughing, joined me in finishing the sentence.
There's some pain in it, obviously, but it's not essential to the joke.
