We went on in the meeting, and we came to the April Fool’s issue. Someone asked how we came up with the time period of from 1850s to 1920s. I said that for some reason I think the gulls and locusts story is funny, and I knew that was in the 1800s, and someone else suggested I do a root beer story, which brought me to Snoopy and the Red Baron, and while Snoopy really is from the 60s and 70s, the World War I flying ace would be from 1918.
The look on the faces in the room was priceless. There was stunned silence until Derrick says, “And now we know why Shad is still single.”
I made a frowny face and said that my niece said that I wasn’t married because I was too smart. “She’s 9.”
