Another road trip:

           Some years back, Avon and I took a little ride to Europe to visit Chris who was stationed in Germany at the time. We got off the plane in Frankfort and immediately got onto the Autobahn at God-awful speeds. Driving at nearly 100 mph I couldn’t read any of the signs – I couldn’t have read them at 30 mph since they were in German. We were soon hopelessly lost, so I stopped for directions at a sort of convenience store. I went in and asked if anyone spoke English. An older man standing at the counter said in perfect English, “If I were going to England I would learn English before I went.” I have been known to speak without thinking and wanted to tell him that my father had come to Germany in 1944 so I wouldn’t have to learn German, but fortunately I didn’t. He then proceeded to give me precise and accurate directions. He came off as the winner, but I was happy that he mistook me for a dumb Brit and not a dumb Yank. The State Dept. was having enough trouble with our image and didn’t need any help from me.

Life is much too important to be taken seriously.
