Tonight I was out in the shed working on the 1200, listening to "Country Boy Can Survive" on the 8 track and puttin' down a few Blue Ribbons when the door slowly creaked open. Yup. It was Gertrude. She seamed to be in a good mood so I knew something was up.
She stood there silently for a few minutes while I cleaned the spark plug and then she started.
"Dick, after all these years, maybe it's time for you to sell your Cubs and start spending more time inside with me in the evenings. I think it would be good for our relationship".
I could feel the horror grip me as the anger began to spread across my face.
She said " Dick, what on earth is wrong with you!"
I swallowed slowly as I was beginning to choke with emotion. I said " Gertrude, for a minute there you were starting to sound like my ex wife."
Gertrude screamed at me! "YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE MARRIED BEFORE!"
I said,... "I wasn't."
