Martin Luther King Day

"Happy Martin Luther King Day," I said to my wife this morning, rolling over and kissing her on the cheek.

"Happy Martin Luther King Day," she said to me.

"Martin Luther King Jr was a great man," I said.

"Yeah," she said; "He freed the slaves."

I laughed.

"What so funny?" she asked.

"Honey, Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. Martin Luther King was a leader of the civil rights movement," I said.

"Oh," she said.


She also once said the following the differences between right and left;

"It's like they are the same, except that they're opposites."
