\maketitle
My girlfriend and I were having dinner with some friends of hers, when somebody mentioned the full moon.
Naturally, I launched into the joke about the priest, the rabbi, and the werewolf.
When no one laughed, my girlfriend informed me that her friend was a recovering werewolf.

I tried to change the topic, but the mood was pretty much killed.
