Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl "Will you marry me?"

The girl said, "NO!"

And the guy lived happily ever after and went fishing, hunting and played
golf a lot and drank beer whenever he wanted.

THE END

From a Peanuts comic strip a few years ago, where Linus was pestering Lucy
to tell him a bedtime story. Finally, Lucy gave in:

"Once upon a time a man was born. He lived, then he died. The end."
