Do You Trust Your Wife?

My inimitable father got arrested in Suffolk County, NY, one day. He's taking my mom to lunch somewhere out east around Southhampton and gets into a shouting match with the guys in a garbage truck. Mom and dad park nearby and sit down for lunch. Not long after, in walks the garbageman and a cop. The garbageman is a reserve cop and they arrest Big Jim for disturbing the peace, much to the mortification of my mother, and take him away in handcuffs. As soon as he's out of jail, he's on the warpath and sues the cops … he has free legal representation, himself. The cops retaliate and their PBA representative sues Big Jim back. This is where Big Jim has the last laugh, because their suit has nowhere to go. Ha, ha! He chuckled. I'm lawsuit proof. Everything we own is in your mother's name. He lived for the hunt.
