Changing colors

Mr. Rother, my sister-in-law’s dad, was a “Sanford and Son” fan. Every night at the time “Sanford and Son” was to come on he would go into the den, turn on the TV, sit down, take his hat off, and lay it by the chair. He would not say much until his program had ended.

One day unbeknown to him, his daughter-in-law took his TV to be worked on, leaving her color TV in the place of his. She knew “Sanford and Son” would be on that night and didn’t
want to get on the wrong side of Mr. Rother.

So that night he came in, turned on the TV, and sat back, and the first words out of his mouth were, “Well, I’ll be darned, Sanford has painted his truck!”
