Big D gets published
I'm assuming you recall the accident my mother was in. The one in which she foiled the escape of wanted felon Robert Wichern.
My dad called the Middletown Journal's Sound-Off Line and sounded off with the following (which was printed in today's paper).
On Saturday, Dec. 8, my wife's car was struck by the car of a wanted felon who was fleeing from the police at the time. Of course, the man had no insurance. My insurance will have to pay to fix our car and it's going to cost me $500 to pay the deductible. It doesn't seem fair, does it? But that's not the worst of it. The story of the incident referred to my wife as an "elderly woman." I hate to think of what the ensuing face-lift and hair coloring is going to cost me.

If I printed that about my wife, I'd be wondering what the ensuing divorce attorney's fees are going to cost me.

Excellent. Al and I were howling over that. I hope your mom has as good a sense of humor as your dad.

Yes, it is starting to become clearer to me, where you get that wonderful sense of humor.
I hope your mom is able to appreciate it as well!
;)
Good morning!

Sue, Bill, Emma, Greeneyezz: Mom and Dad both have incredible senses of humor. Mom's, sometimes, is a bit on the racy side as she's made humorous references, more than once over the years, regarding just how she keeps dad young.

Seriously funny! Perspective is everything, isn't it?
-Glad your mom's OK!

Ok--after the "elderly woman" I figured I wasn't doing Big D justice. Soooo--I turned my hair back to its original color--brown. The only other thing left to do was try it out shopping with Big D at my side-his beautiful white hair and my newly acquired brown hair. First guy we ran into coming out of Sams--I know was laughing under his breath about my obvious new brown color. Well, I pointed this out to Big D who replied, "he thought you was my daughter". The man will say anything so he doesn't have to spring for the facelift.

The same thing has happened to me too! A convicted felon high on drugs hit my car and totally destroyed it. He didn't have insurance either, but he had had one earlier and the insurance company had to pay me and then get the money from him.
Hope your mother is ok!

Just goes to show... there is no justice in this world!
