Stolen

Don: Where’s my car? It’s missing. Did it get stolen?

Kristy: You don’t have a car. Your truck is parked in the driveway. Go look. 

Don: I drove my car here last night. 

Kristy: You and I, neither one, left this house yesterday. So, nobody’s car brought you here. You were already here. 

Don: Seriously?

Kristy: Do I look like I’m joking?

Don: Well, then I need that car to drive all the way back to the cabin.

Kristy: You can’t drive, you don’t have a license. Do you remember why you don’t have a license?

Don: Yeah. 

Kristy: Then why are we having this discussion?

Don: I need to get to work tomorrow. 

Kristy: So, let me get this straight. (1) You are partially blind in your left eye; (2) your left arm and hand are useless; (3) you can’t be on your feet longer than 15 minutes; and you sleep most of the day, something most employers don’t tolerate. Where do you work?

Don: Over there at the Coast Guard. 

Note to Self: More like Walmart after midnight.
