ID this joke about what you call an apartment

January 1, 2014 8:42 AM

I've been trying to recall a vaguely remembered joke that goes through different stages in a relationship and for each one has a different, relevant name for what you call an apartment. Something like, when you're just married it's a unit, later on it's something, then when things start to go south it's a flat, and when the marriage ends poorly it's an apartment (ha ha). Does anyone recognize this and know the full text of the joke?

Best answer: You go through a lot of housing changes when you get married. When you were single, it was suite. When you first get married, you're in a unit. No condo, and you've got kids. Later, things get tough, and go flat. Eventually, things go to pot and it's an _apart_ment.

Or something like that.
