Familiar Quotations

Over the years, Betty and I have accumulated a wealth of sayings, by ourselves and other people, that have become famous only to us. Every enduring couple must have them - the shared stuff that binds each to each. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Back during our Hillsboro days, we used to go to the Krystal drive-in on West End by the Parthenon. On Friday nights, the place was always packed and you were lucky if you could find a free space. Once, when we were there, we noticed a car full of good old boys, riding around and around, looking for a space. On about their fifth time around, one of the guys leaned half way out the car window and yelled, "WHY DOESN'T SOMEBODY LEAVE?"

For some reason, that tickled us, and we laughed about it all the way home; and we have laughed about it ever since.
