  2. How I met my wife… I used to be a real drugstore cowboy till one day this beautiful flapper walked by and I got the heebie-jeebies. She was very hotsy-totsy and I asked her on a date. We put on our glad-rags and had a good time at the Speakeasy. Later, I took her for a ride in my breezer and tried to neck, but she’d brought a fire extinguisher and said, “Sorry, Mac, the bank’s closed!” After a few months I gave her a handcuff and a then we walked down the middle aisle. From then on everything was just swell!!!
