Couple of a pair
A couple who have been married 30 years are on a motor trip that they make
regularly to visit their daughter's family in another city. They've stopped
for lunch at a favorite place and have been back on the road for about 20
minutes when she says, "Oh good Lord John, I just remembered that I left my
purse in the restaurant. We'll have to go back and get it."
As John looks for a place to turn around, he begins grumbling. "Fior crying
out loud Alice, that's the third time in a year you've pulled a stunt like
that. Seems like you can't remember anything anymore. You've become as bad
as your sister Sally. I can't believe she could forget where she parked her
car at the mall and they towed it away. You've done the same thing at home
lately, - you start one thing and forget what you were going to do and end up
doing four different things and never do what you wanted to do in the first
place. Look what this is going to cost us, - we'll lose at least an hour, not
to mention four bucks worth of gas, etc., etc., etc".
The tirade goes on and on for the full 20 miles back to the restaurant.
Alice is quiet the entire time. Finally they're in the reaturant parking
lot and he stays behind the wheel with the motor running while she goes in to
retrieve her purse. But when she's about twenty feet from the car, he lowers
his window and shouts, "While you're in there, see if anyone turned in my
Dodger cap and my sunglasses."
