Wish I'd Said That
You know Miss Perkins. Weil,
she’s been driving her own esr
around our town for s little more
than 30 years.
The other day she had a bit of
trouble parking down on Main
Street. Didn’t quite make it the
first try, so she pulled out to
start over when a fellow waiting
to pass started tooting his horn
impatiently.
On the second try; she was still
having a little difficulty and so
this smart aleck hollered, “Lady,
do you know how to drive?” “Yes,
young man,” Miss Perkins an-
swered, “I do. But I don’t have
time to teach you now.”
From where I ait, it’s not al-
waya eaay to have a good answer
ready when you need it Bat when
somebody insist* that I vote for
his candidate, for instance, or
choose tea instead of a temperate
glass of beer with dinner, I know
the answer. It’s all a matter of
personal preference ... and none
of us like “backseat driving” from
anybody.
