Tough time on the Freeway this morning….thanks to NPR!

Tough time on the Freeway this morning….thanks to NPR!  I drove Jinny downtown this morning and on my way back home, I encountered one of those traffic jams that Atlanta seems to have mastered and turned from a mild irritation to an excruciating pain.  In brief in was stuck on the freeway, surrendered by a bunch of not very happy folks.  I was nursing my patience, listening to NPR when a very serious gentleman came through the airwaves and started a very serious discussion on the issue of Iran Uranium Enrichment.  A sobering subject if there was ever one.  The problem was that this gentleman had one of those voices where at time the beginning or end of a word comes with a slight whistle sound.  Combining by a slight radio distortion and my less than perfect hearing the two words “Uranium Enrichment” became “Geranium Enrichment.”  At first, it was OK but as the expose was becoming more sinister in the explanation of the possible consequence of said Geranium Enrichment and that the gentleman was repeating the expression more often, it became very funny.  Soon I started giggling and very quickly find myself in total hilarity right smack in the middle of a freeway turned into a parking lot, surrendered by increasingly angry motorist.  If look could kill I would have been terminated with extreme prejudice right there on the spot by the murdering stare of two Ladies in the car on each side of me.  The result of those reactions succeeded only to drive my hilarity to a higher level and I owe my survival only to the dissipation of the traffic jam allowing all to go on their ways!  Geranium Enrichment did in fact put my life in grave danger!
