Don’t shoot!
Many years ago, a girlfriend of mine attempted to introduce “culture” into my dismal life, by taking me to our nation’s finest museums, art galleries and concert halls. I was genuinely impressed with her love of the arts, and made a serious attempt to learn, but I guess I forgot to mention to her that “creating humor” is ALSO an “art.”
On one journey to a nice art gallery, we marveled at a life-sized replica of the statue of the Venus de Milo. While staring at it, a museum guard strolled past us, his .38 caliber pistol secured inside his holster.
As he walked past the lovely statue of Venus, I couldn’t resist saying out loud, “DON’T SHOOT! SHE’S UNARMED!”
That was my LAST date with that young lady….
