Different Meanings
One night when I dropped in at the police station on my news beat, a large, efficient-looking woman in uniform who packed a service revolver at her waist was behind the sergeant’s desk. After checking the blotter, I returned to the car, where my wife was waiting for me.
"You should see the new woman on the force," I said. "She’s tremendous, and wearing a .38."
I didn’t notice the silence until my wife broke it icily with, "I wear a 38."
Getting Rid of Something
The lawyer I work for specializes in divorce cases, so I was a little surprised to get a call from a prisoner serving life for murdering his wife. My boss was surprised too.
"What does he need me for?" he asked. "He appears to have solved all his marital problems by himself."
