From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL -
07/05/14 - "Missing Wife":
A
husband went to police station to report his missing wife: Husband : I’ve lost my wife, she went shopping yesterday and has still not come home. Sergeant : What is her height? Husband : I really never noticed. Sergeant : Build? Husband : Not slim, not really fat. Sergeant : Color of eyes? Husband : Never noticed. Sergeant : Color of hair? Husband : Changes according to season. Sergeant : What was she wearing? Husband : Dress/suit/ I don’t remember exactly. Sergeant : Did she go in a car? Husband : Yes. Sergeant : What kind of car was it? Husband : Black Audi A8 with super charged 3.0 liter V6 engine generating 333 horse power with an eight-speed triptonic automatic transmission with manual mode. And it has full LED headlights which use light emitting diodes for all light functions and has a very thin scratch on the front left door.……………. at this point the husband started crying... Sergeant : Don't worry sir.......We’ll find your car. |
Thanks, Ruthie!
