On a freezing cold winter morning, my wife and I were having breakfast when the radio announcer said:
“We’re expecting 8 to 10 inches of snow today. Please move your car to the even-numbered side of the street so the snowplow can get through.”
Being the helpful wife she is, she bundled up and moved her car. ![]()
The next week, same scenario — radio says:
“10 to 12 inches of snow today. Please move your car to the odd-numbered side.”
Out she goes again, moving that car like a champ. ![]()
Week three:
We’re sipping coffee when the radio announcer begins,
“We’re expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow and you must park…”
And
POOF
— the power goes out! ![]()

She looks panicked and says,
“Oh no! I don’t know which side to move the car to now!”
With the calm patience of a man who’s been married a long time, I smile and say,
“Sweetheart… why don’t you just leave the car in the garage this time?”
