A recent post, sorry, couldn't find the source, about a guy entering a bar with a 1911 Colt, reminded me of this golden oldie. It is so old it is bald, gray-bearded, and probably wears Depends!'

It is Friday night, the local drive-in is nearly full, popcorn aroma fills the air, John Wayne is on the huge screen, and all is well. Suddenly, a guy bursts into the control shack, grabs the mike, flips on the switch, and screams out, "Okay, I know you are in here with my wife, and I'm coming to get you!"

Suddenly, wired speakers fly through the air as a traffic jam builds at the exit gate, 21 cars and pick-ups, and one camper, no wired speaker, trying to exit all at the same time.

Some old jokes/stories are funny. I didn't find this one so at all.

True Story.

I was photographing a restaurant at lunch time for a a magazine and as I ws getting my cameras out of my bag, a well dressed gentleman came over and said.

Please don't photograph us, we are taking our secretaries to lunch and our wives might not understand.

I always asked people permission when photographing in a situation like a restaurant so they would have been asked before I took any photos of the general crowd but this incident proved my policy was the correct one.

Wise policy, and probably much appreciated by others.
