An elderly couple, Tom and Ethel, were on a road trip to celebrate their anniversary. Tom was driving, but he was a bit hard of hearing. Suddenly, they were pulled over by a cheerful police officer.
“Sir, do you know you were going over the speed limit?” the officer asked.
Tom turned to Ethel and shouted, “What did he say?”
“He says you were speeding!” Ethel yelled back.
The officer then requested, “Could I see your driver’s license, please?”
Once again, Tom turned to Ethel and hollered, “What did he say?”
“He wants to see your driver’s license!” she replied.
After a bit of fumbling, Tom handed over his license to the officer, who, noticing their destination, smiled and said, “You folks from around here? I once visited your town and had a blind date with the most talkative person I’ve ever met!”
Tom, perplexed, turned to Ethel and asked, “What did he say?”
“He thinks he knows you!” Ethel laughed.
