Needless to say, it had gotten him in trouble.
One night, whilst planning to take a fair young maiden out for a drive, he and his close friend decided what a fun thing it would be to test the patience of the young lady. So, they hooked a CD player in the back of the trunk (for this was long ago, when only RADIOS were on the car stereo) to the radio and made a recording.
The close friend's father was a policeman, and the young man asked his father for the car for the night. Needless to say the father agreed, and the night followed somewhat like this:
The fair young maiden was picked up by Bro. John. Whilst on a stretch of lonely road, the CD player had been timed to then announce: "There is Mr. John Doe on the run from the police, wanted in the burglary of the local bank. If you see him, call the police."
At this point in time, the police car pulls around a bend behind Bro. John and his date, lights flashing and all. Of course, said young lady was TERRIFIED (wouldn't you be?)!
Bro. John turns to the young lady, "I'm running away."
"Where ever to, John?" (asked the young lady)
"To Mexico." He then pushed on the gas pedal while the police car races behind them. The young lady was frightened, tears streaming down her face... "I'll go with you!"

Needless to say, the joke ended there. The date was taken back to her house, where my beloved Seminary teacher said, "Sorry, it was just a joke." They never dated again.
I'm sure I'm not telling the story EXACTLY as it had been told, but I tried. It was actually quite hilarious.
Not quite sure if I understand this!
ReplyDeleteBut I liked your previous post a lot! I think that we've all been there before.
Thank you for the comment. I'm following along to see where this journey leads me!
Hi Cassie, yes, I write all my own poetry. I first did today's one ("Long Ago and Far Away") last year. Different things inspire me to write, and I have always wrote stories and poems. A couple of short stories I have had printed, and I have even done a bit of journalism while I was at Uni, but I've never been a serious writer. I just write to please myself, and if other people enjoy it too, then all the better!
