Don't argue with women who read books

New Jersey, viewed from Riverside Park doesn't look covered with lush leaves. Drunk on the scent of acacia flowers. I'm bursting with longing. Many friends who have not met since February live in New Jersey, so my eyes naturally go across the Hudson River. Will we be able to meet again when the leaves fall and the winter comes when New Jersey is visible? Well, It won't be easy to meet everyone until they get a immunization shots because these days, when I go outside, I think of people around me as virus carriers.

Book club friends are decent maybe because they read a lot of books. And they are different from normal women. They are wise and witty. Also, they do not spend a day in vain, but constantly upgrade themselves. Not long ago, one of my friends from the book club sent me this article. The wit of the woman who read the book on a boat was amazing and envious, so I translated what she sent in English and edited some long text.

‘One morning a husband returns to the cabin after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out, since it is such a beautiful day. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book. Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am, what are you doing?" "Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?") "You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,” he informs her.  "I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading." "Yes, but you have all the equipment.  I'll have to write you up a ticket." "For reading a book," she replies. "You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,” he informs her again." "But officer, I'm not fishing, I'm reading." " Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to write you up a ticket and you'll have to pay a fine." "If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman." "But I haven't even touched you," says the Game Warden. "That's true, but you have all the equipment.  For all I know you could start at any moment." "Have a nice day ma'am," and he immediately departed.’

‘MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think. Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.’

A long time ago, I drove a car and passed without stopping at the stop sign. The police caught me. “You didn't stop at the stop sign. I have to give you a ticket.” "I just got out of a fight with my husband. I couldn't see the stop sign because I was out of my mind. I really want to die. Do as you please," I' answered. "Calm down. Where's your house? Let's go together." The police took me to the front of my house and said, "I'll let you go this time," and the police confirmed that I was entering the house. My attitude to escape the crisis with sympathy, which is different from the wit of the confident woman in the writing, was childish.

Can I be witty and confident if I read a lot of books? I should diligently read and read a book that says I'm getting smarter.
