A young man and his date were sitting in his car listening
to the radio and looking at the stars.
A news announcement came on advising people to be on the
lookout because a man had escaped from the Criminally Insane Detention Facility
in the nearby city.
They gave a detailed description of the man and ended with, “He
lost his right arm many years ago and now has a hook where his right hand
should be.”
The young lady was a little nervous, but her date tried to
soothe her. “That place where he escaped is nearly 50 miles from here. Even if
he was heading this direction it will be impossible for him to travel very fast
through the swamps and stubble fields between here and there".
That soothed her somewhat, but he soon realized the mood was
gone, and the moment lost. He decided to call it a night and took her home.
He pulled up to her house, and being the perfect gentleman
that he was, he got out of the car and went around to open the car door for her.
He considered himself to be a man among men, captain of the
football team in High School and an Ex-Marine yet he lost control of his
bladder and fell to his knees when he spotted a hook sticking out of the passenger
door.
