Humor from a former ambassador in Korea

After quite an interval, we now have another juicy piece of humor from one of the former ambassadors in Korea who finished a successful tour of duty here in Korea and who still loves Korea and the Korean people—as well as his former and incumbent colleagues:

Signs of aging

Written by a confident lady:

After a meeting, I was coming out of a hotel and I was looking for my car keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room, they were not there either.

Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car.

My husband has shouted many times for leaving the keys in the ignition.

My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them.

His theory is the car will be stolen if left at the ignition key slot.

Immediately, I rushed to the parking lot and came to a terrifying conclusion.

His theory was right. The parking lot was empty.

I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, description of the car, place I parked, etc. I equally confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that the car had been stolen.

Then I made the most difficult call of all, to my husband,

"Honey (I stammered, I always call him 'honey' in times like these), I left my keys in the car--and it has been stolen."

There was a big silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard his voice.

"Idiot," he shouted, "I dropped you at the hotel!"

Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, and happy as well, I said, "Well, then please come and get me."

He shouted again, "I will, as soon as I convince this policeman, that I have not stolen your car."
