The Witness Protection Program
“Joe?”
“Hmmm?”
“Do you know anything about dairy farming?”
“Allison, I’m an aeronautics engineer.”
“I know. But…”
“When would I have gathered all this information about dairy farming? My obviously wasted youth?”
“Now you’re just making fun of me.”
“We’re married. We have three kids. Never in the span of time that we’ve known each other has dairy farming been a part of our relationship. Do you think I’m studying in my spare time, with my other wife?”
“Stop it.”
“Al, if you’re gonna wake me up at three in the morning to ask me a dumb question… I might as well give you a dumb answer.”
“It’s just as well.”
“What? That I’m not a dairy farmer? I’m sure it’s a blockbuster career option here in Arizona.”
“You don’t look good in a straw hat.”
“I take offense to that.”
“What? Why?”
“I don’t know, Al. I figure as long as we’re having this conversation, I might as well take offense at something. Do I need to look good in a straw hat?”
“You will.”
“What? When? Halloween?”
“No.”
“Please don’t make me ask again.”
“When we’re in the Witness Protection Program.”
“I wasn’t aware that straw hats were mandatory.”
“They are when you’re Amish.”
“Oh, Al. Just… just explain it to me now so I can get back to sleep.”
“We’re going into the Witness Protection Program and we’re going to be Amish.”
“Like that movie with Kirstie Alley and Tim Allen?”
“What?”
“They were… oh, never mind. Al?”
“Hmm?”
“Are you sure you’re awake?”
…
“Al?”
…
“Oh, never mind. But you’re going to laugh in the morning…”
