Elvis and Uncle Joe
My wife's Uncle Joe had a fight with Elvis.These days, Joe's fighting cancer. But he had enough energy this weekend to tell my brother-in-law the story--so here it is, cut-and-pasted from Jim's e-mail about his trip to visit Joe in Memphis:
"Elvis had his pink Caddie. Uncle Joe had a 1956 blue, white and red Ford convertible. They were the only cars in a parking lot when a snowball fight broke out.
"Elvis threw one, missed his target and hit Uncle Joe's car. He came over and apologized. Elvis threw another, and again hit Uncle Joe's convertible. He came over to apologize again. Uncle Joe socked him with a snowball.
"He said they saluted one another after that, when they met on the street."
Fifteen years of marriage and I've never heard the story. Who says you can't learn new things about your spouse?
