6111 - Long joke Sunday


One winter morning during breakfast a husband and wife in Wisconsin were listening to the radio. 

They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through."   

So the good wife went out and moved her car.   
 
A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through." 

The good wife went out and moved her car again.   

The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park..." Then the electric power went out. 

The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?"   

With the love and understanding in his voice, the husband replied, "Why don't  you just leave it in the garage this time?"

Ha. Not all good wives are smart wives.
Hope all's well, Mike, and that you enjoyed Christmas.
Happy almost New Year!

A very scrupulous lady!

It's not the wife who is at fault but the radio announcer. Report him to the FCC!

At least he waited until asked.

Robyn - HNY to you.

Cloudia - She could do no wrong.

Kirk - But that's what the government told him to say!

Sue - I think that's called malicious compliance.

Speaking as a former radio announcer, I object to Kirk's advice. Speaking as a native of Pittsburgh, PA, the most important thing to do after it snows is dig out your own parking space and put the parking chair in it to protect your property.

It feels like that couple had been together for a long time.

Mike said...

Bill - 70 years ago we had to do that where we lived in the city.

Deb - Yes it is!

Shaw - HNY back at you.

Lady - HNY to you too!

Kathy - What do you think her answer would have been? "I guess so..."
