Stony Silence

A couple were driving to the airport in stony silence

since they had had an argument and she was not

really interested in flying in her husband’s aircraft

that afternoon. They drove past a meadow in

which several goats, cows, horses and sheep

were grazing. He asked sarcastically, “Relatives

of yours?” “Yes!” she quickly replied “In-laws.”
