Conversation of the Week

Diane's comment on my family reunion post about the road construction as they drove through Monticello made me remember a funny conversation we had while we were there. We actually only went into town to grab fishing poles for the boys at their cousin Curtis's house. The rest of the time, we were at the ranch. But as we were driving through the construction zone, Curtis informed me that I didn't need to worry about the speed limit because he happened to know which policeman was on duty just then and he figured he was probably home watching tv as usual and wouldn't be a problem. Ha! Chad was amazed and asked Curtis if he knew which cops were on duty all the time - to which Curtis responded, "Well, yeah, we only have 2,000 people in the whole town." Chad thought about this for a minute and then said, "Dang, that's just about the size of my school". Curtis just glared at Chad and told him, "Way to make a guy feel good." Ah, small town living.
