Believe it or not, you don't need a sense of humor to understand. Just the fact that you felt the need to clarify what Mrs. Reid observed shows you're way behind and suggests you have no sense at all.
I gotta admit....Mrs Reid might not have thought it hilarious to see Lee Oswald enter the Office area carrying a coke and wearing only a Tee Shirt .....But the mental projection of that image strikes me as hilarious.... And I can guarantee Mrs Reid would damned sure have remember it!!....
And I was simply being flippant ........I never thought that I'd have to explain myself.
But the bottom line is:.... I seriously doubt Mrs Reid's tale..... And I don't believe that she was a malicious liar..... She simply told a Texas tale and never dreamed that it would blow up in her face.
