Primetime Parking

A policeman was patrolling near midnight at a local parking spot overlooking a golf course. He drove by a car and saw a couple inside with the dome light on. Inside there was a young man in the driver’s seat reading a computer magazine and a young lady in the back seat calmly knitting. He stopped to investigate.

The police officer walked up to the driver’s window and knocked. The young man looked up and obligingly cranked down the car window. The boyish looking driver said, “Yes, Officer?”

“What are you doing?” the policeman asked.

“What does it look like?” answered the young man. “I’m reading this magazine.”

Pointing towards the young lady in the back seat, the officer then asked, “And what’s she doing?”

The young man looked over his shoulder and replied, “I think she’s knitting a sweater.”

Confused, the officer asked, “And how old are you, young man?”

“I’m nineteen,” he replied.

“And how old is she?” asked the officer.

The young man replied after glancing at his watch, “Well, in about twelve minutes she’ll be eighteen.”
