THE AGE OF CONSENT

A policeman was patrolling near midnight at a local parking spot
overlooking a golf course. He drove by a car and saw a couple inside with the
dome light on. Inside there was a young man in the driver's seat
reading a computer magazine and a young lady in the back seat calmly
knitting. He stopped to investigate He walked up to the driver's window and
knocked. The young man looked up, obligingly cranked the window down, and
said, "Yes, Officer?" "What are you doing?" the policeman asked. "What
does it look like?" answered the young man. "I'm reading this
magazine." Pointing towards the young lady in the back seat, the officer then
asked, "And what is she doing?" The young man looked over his shoulder
and replied, "I think she's knitting a sweater." Confused, the officer
asked, "How old are you, young man?" "I'm nineteen," he replied. "And how
old is she?" asked the officer. The young man looked at his watch and
said, "Well, in about twelve minutes she'll be eighteen."
