A good laugh

As many of you know, Connie bought a red convertible sports car , in December,  while we were in Florida.  The following is an incident that happened on our way to the lake this weekend.

  Connie had stopped in Waterloo to buy a newspaper and get some happy hour “fixins” while I sat in the car with the top down.  The following is an exchange with a “gentleman” that came wobbling down the street.

Gent:  That sure is a purty car.  I always has liked red.  Is it brand new?

Dal:  Actually it is my girlfriend’s car.  She bought it in Florida.

Gent:  Florida?  Sure is a nice place.  (He then walked around the car)  By golly, it does have Florida plates on it. Don’t it?

Dal:  Yeah, She bought it there after her husband died.  He left her a pile of money and she is having a good time spending it.

Gent:  He died?  Shore am sorry about that.

Just then Connie came back from the store.

Gent:  I shore like your car.  I always liked red convertibles.

Connie:  Well I had to wait 49 years for it and I think that I deserved it

Gent:     Walks away mumbling.

Dal:  Bends over with head below dash and multitasked.  (Snorted snot through nose, passed gas, and almost peed his pants)

Connie:  Backs car into street. And says “what in the world is the matter with you”?

When we stopped at a light a block down the street, I explained the exchange between the gent and I, and how her statement at the end was the perfect (unknowing) retort and really fit the situation.  We both got quite a laugh from the whole thing.
