Young Love
A cop was patrolling late at night in a well-known necking spot. He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing. The cop carefully approaches the car to get a better look. Inside the car he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a woman in the rear seat, knitting. Puzzled by this surprising situation, the cop walks to and gently raps on the driver's window. The young man lowers his window:
"Uh, yes, officer?"
The cop says: "What are you doing?"
The young man says: "Well Officer, I'm reading a magazine."
Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the cop says: "And her,
what is she doing?"
The young man shrugs: "Sir, I believe she's knitting a pullover sweater."
Now, the cop is totally confused. A young couple alone, in a car, at night in a Lover's lane...and nothing obscene is happening!
The cop asks: "What's your age, young man?"
The young man says "I'm 22, sir."
The cop asks: "And her...what's her age?"
The young man looks at his watch and replies: "She'll be 18 in 11 minutes."
