One is the lonliest number

Last night the wife was looking in the shoe mirror in Macy's, contemplating a new pair of shoes.
 
"I like them," I said.
 
"I like them too," she said, "but it's the only pair I like, the sale is 'buy one get one half off', and I don't want to buy one pair of shoes I don't need."
 
"I see," I said, contemplating moving to a faraway country and changing my name.
