As most of you know I have been following the news pretty closely and have posted a lot of pretty radical political thoughts on Facebook recently. I have got some agreement and some pretty strong criticism. The critics have made me wonder if I should quit being such a bore and get back to my primary mission in life of writing Historical Fiction. I have been pondering this conundrum without being able to reach a conclusion until I got the following email: A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir. The driver says, Gee, officer, I had it on cruise control at 60; perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating. Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: Now dont be silly, dear -- you know that this car doesnt have cruise control. As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, Cant you please keep your mouth shut for once !! ? The wife smiles demurely and says, Well dear you should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did or your speed would have been higher. As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, Woman, cant you keep your mouth shut? The officer frowns and says, And I notice that youre not wearing your seat belt, sir. Thats an automatic fine. The driver says, Yeah, well, you see, officer, I had it on, but I took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket. The wife says, Now, dear, you know very well that you didnt have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when youre driving. And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket, the driver turns to his wife and barks, W ILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP?? The officer looks over at the woman and asks, Does your husband always talk to you this way, Maam? (I love this part) Only when hes been drinking Of course I thought this was funny, but almost immediately, I thought: I wish Obama had a wife like that: I got my answer right away: It is time for me to get back to my primary job: Writing Fiction, Ted
