The day started out like any other, with birds singing and the radio blaring, and the sun peeking in through the curtains. Joe was careful not to get up on the wrong side of the bed because he might step on something left there the night before. He quickly showered, shaved and put on his blue tweed suit because he was late for an important date. He had to meet Maggie before noon so they could go out for Sunday brunch with her parents. Joe was going to pop the big question today and he had to make sure everything was just right; flowers, candy, and a pack of Cuban cigars for her old man. When Joe got out to his car, he saw that it had a flat; but he wasn't a glass is half empty kind of guy, so he just decided to take the bus. When Joe got to the stop, he realized that he had left his wallet sitting on the kitchen table. He chuckled softly, and went skippingly back to his apartment. On the way Joe was surrounded by three black guys, who took his clothes and left him hand cuffed to a tree. Joe was never one to cry wolf, so he waited for help to come. Joe was finally rescued by a woman police officer who took him down to the station to look at a line up. Joe identified the 3 guys; and took the police officer to lunch. Joe who was dressed in an old police slicker, instantly fell in love with the woman officer. Joe felt sorry for her because she had just lost her partner, so he asked her to marry him; it was love at first sight. She said yes, and they now live happily in a 2 story house in the suburbs with one and a half bath and 2.5 kids. It was a marriage made in heaven; and the lived happily ever after.
