Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Beware!

Beware of old women.  They can be devious.

 

A police officer pulled a woman over for speeding and had the following exchange:

 

Officer: May I see your driver's license?

 

Driver: I don't have one.  I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI (Driving Under the Influence).

 

Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?

 

Driver: It's not my car.  I stole it.

 

Officer: The car is stolen?

 

Driver: That's right.  But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.

 

Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?

 

Driver: Yes sir.  That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.

 

Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?

 

Driver: Yes, sir.

 

Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by more police cars, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation.

 

Captain: Sir, can I see your license?

 

Driver: Sure.  Here it is.

 

It was valid.

 

Captain: Who's car is this?

 

Driver: It's mine, officer.  Here's the registration.

 

Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?

 

Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.

 

Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.

 

Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk?  I was told you said there's a body in it.

 

Driver: No problem.

 

The trunk was opened; no body.

 

Captain: I don't understand it.  The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.

 

Driver: Yeah, I'll bet he told you I was speeding, too.
