The officer inspects her license and comments, “Ah, you’re from Brownsville. I’ll never forget that place. I once had the worst blind date there.”
The wife, still unable to hear properly, turns to her husband and asks, “What’d he say now?” The husband, suppressing a laugh, replies, “He said he had the worst blind date in Brownsville.”
The wife, looking confused, nods and says, “Oh, sorry to hear that, officer.” The officer chuckles, “Yeah, it was quite an experience. Anyway, just try to keep your speed down, ma’am.”
The wife once again turns to her husband, “What’d he say?” The husband, with a sigh of resignation and a twinkle in his eye, says, “He said to keep your speed down, and you’re free to go.”
The wife smiles at the officer and says, “Thank you, officer. I promise to be more careful.” The officer nods, amused by the whole exchange, and returns to his patrol car.
As they drive off, the wife finally hears her husband muttering under his breath, “Next time, I’m driving.” She laughs and pats his hand, “Oh, don’t be so grumpy. At least we made someone’s day a bit more interesting!”
The couple continues on their journey, with the wife driving a bit more cautiously and the husband secretly relieved that their little adventure was over without a ticket. The humorous memory of the officer’s bewildered expression and their playful banter becomes one of their favorite stories to share with friends and family for years to come.
