     I once had a friend named Joe Gordon.  He was a miner who
worked down in southeast Ohio in the coal mines.  One fine Monday
morning in the spring, Joe was shaving and listening to the radio
when the disk jockey said, "... and we haope you all remembered 
that Daylight Savings time started over the weekend.  Otherwise,
you're an hour late!"
     "Oh no!" Joe thought to himself.  "I'm going to be late for
work!!"  So Joe hopped in his car and drove off to work.
     Now, it just so happens that in the area where Joe lived,
the roads were very narrow, and little more than ruts in the
ground.  It was impossible to pass anyone on these roads.  There-
fore, you can understand how upset Joe got when he rounded a hill
and saw in front of him a little old lady driving 3 miles per hour!!
After about five minutes of this, Joe got really ticked.  He was
thinking of someway to get rid of this lady, when he saw an emergency
telephone off to the side of the road.  So what does he do?  He hops
out of his car, runs over to the phone booth, and calls the cops,
who come and arrest the little old lady!!  Do you know what the
charges were???



Simple:  Contributing to the delinquency of a miner [minor]!!!
