You Know You Married a Cop When...

A simple conversation about where to go on a family jog goes something like this:

Me: "Which trail should we take this afternoon?"

Gumshoe: "I don't know...which one do you want to go on?"

Me: "We could go on the neighborhood trail..."

Gumshoe: "Nah...I'm sick of that one and I'm sick of seeing every crummy code-violation-filled house along the way."

Me: "Okay...how about the trail through the corporate park...that one is beautiful."

Gumshoe: "Nope!  That one's a downer for me."

Me: "Why?  What's wrong with that one-it's my favorite!"

  *Why I thought I would be getting a "normal" response to this question...I have no idea but his answer went something like this:

Gumshoe:  "I'm always getting called out there because people are offing themselves in parked cars."

*Long, thoughtful pause where I came up with this gem:

Me: "uh...er...hmmm...okay."

  

Well, Gumshoe...I can certainly understand why you wouldn't want to take a nice leisurely jog on that trail.  And thanks to that only slightly macabre visual...I will be finding a new favorite trail as well.

Hope your weekend is fun-filled and doesn't involve any macabre running trails...or chalk outlines!
