Merce Cunningham’s parents were going to
Seattle to see their other son, Jack.
Mrs. Cunningham was driving.
Mr. Cunningham said,
“Don’t you think you should go a little
slower? You’ll get caught.”
He gave this warning several times.
Finally, on the
outskirts of Seattle, they were
stopped by a policeman. He
asked to see Mrs. Cunningham’s license.
She rummaged around in her bag
and said, “I just don’t seem
to be able to find it.” He then
asked to see the registration.
She looked for it but
unsuccessfully. The officer
then said, “Well,
what are we going to do with you?”
Mrs. Cunningham started the engine.
Before she drove off,
she said, “I just
don’t have any more time to waste
talking with you. Good-by.”
