The heavens opened and bucket loads of water poured down as we made our way through the mountains and tunnels of West Virginia.   In front of us, a red SUV slowed, cowed by the rain, and put on emergency blinkers.  I am driving.

 

Me:  What is this person's problem?

 

(We pass the SUV.)

 

Dh:  Oh, it's a woman driver

 

Me:  Hey, you'd better watch it.  You've put your life and your childrens' lives in the hands of a woman driver.

 

Dh:  Yes, but I don't think of you as a woman driver.

 

Me:  What?  I'm not sure if I'm complimented or insulted.

 

Dh: (belly laugh and slapping of knee)
