Joke

Last evening my husband and I watched an old movie he fondly refers to as a classic . . . "The African Queen." For those of you who know me well and have watched the old classic, I'm sure you realize what a huge gift of love it was for me to sit through 104 minutes of one of the slowest moving flicks I've ever been privy to.

As I fought falling asleep during this non-action packed film, I kept telling Steve this was not a serious movie but rather a comedy. He assured me it was no such thing and repeatedly explained the serious part was yet to come. However, on the back cover of the video case I discovered it reads: "No one was more surprised than co-writer/director John Huston when his serious adventure drama turned into a comedy. Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn simply discovered that they were funny together as a team and their humor altered the movie's tone."

If you know Steve very well, you'll know the joke is on me.
