The Jose Offerman Story
Q: "Did I ever tell you about the time I was in Jose Offerman's Cadillac?"
My wife randomly hit me with this question while we sat at a bar and watched Game 1 of the Red Sox-White Sox series. She could now say anything and nothing will ever shock me like that statement. Is there anything a wife or girlfriend could say to their significant other that would be more disturbing? --Brian P., Beverly, Mass.
