Red Car Day
This is an eavesdropping about an eavesdropping. Two gentlemen were waiting for tires to be rotated. Seems the first man had eaten in a diner earlier. His booth butted up against another filled with state troopers.
“It’s your day today, Ev,” said one man to another. “They’re gonna getcha.”
“What?,” the second man kept reading his newspaper.
“You’ve got Gerry’s car.”
“You know I’m getting her tires rotated for our anniversary,” Ev said from behind the newspaper. “Who’s gonna get me?“
“Now that’s romance,” the first man guffawed.
“We’ll go get something to eat in town later,” explained Ev.
“Dollar menu at Wendy's no doubt,” chuckled the first.
”Quit changing the subject. What’s wrong with driving Gerry’s car?” Ev put his paper down.
“ I heard two troopers talking next to me at the diner. One of them was green and he asked the others how they decide which car to pull over if there’s a string of speeders. They all laughed at him, then one of them said, ‘Sunday’s always Red Car Day’.“
