Nearly the end of February, the end of winter, and we are all ready for some spring color and flowers to plant and to brighten the landscape. When you sit under that shade tree and watch the busy word about its daily business, you can either become so engrossed in its problems and turmoils to become depressed, or find some humor in the such happenings.
Like the fuss over the fence. The man in Washington says “I will not be deterred, the fence goes up”. The man losing many acres and seeing his town torn asunder is dismayed at the callous disregard, he says, of the real world, and disregard for the efforts already in place.
I ran across this story. It goes back to when seat belts were still new, and authority was trying hard to teach drivers to use them. So this Texas State Trooper flags down a car, and he walks up to the driver’s side and says, “Congratulations. The State of Texas is giving out $ 1,000
Chits to drivers wearing seat belts. All you need to do is take this card to any bank to receive this gift from the State. Congratulations. By the way, what will you do with the money?”
Smiling, the driver says, “I believe I’ll get my driver’s license”.
The woman in the passenger seat said quickly, “Never mind him, officers, he’ll say anything when he’s drunk”.
Just then the man who had been sleeping in the back seat wakes up and, seeing the trooper, moans, “I knew they’d catch us driving this stolen car”.
The sudden quiet was interrupted by a banging on the trunk lid and the voice saying plaintively, “Senor, are we across the river yet?”
Told you I had a quirky sense of humor.
