THE JOKE BOOK [from BIG NICKEL; Episode 10]

Sam and his trainee, Andy, have to go on a long ride, in order to pick up a prisoner.  An awkward ride because of what happened in a previous episode:  During a power failure, Andy sought comfort from Sam...she had fatally shot a suspect just hours before.  A sexual predator and murderer.
_______________________________________

By candlelight, for a moment, she let herself go.  And then, the power came back on.  She came to her senses...remembered her boyfriend, Luke.  And the spell was broken.
_______________

Hence the awkward road trip.  In a diner, Sam realized that it was he who was making the trip awkward...Andy had finally given up on small talk.  So, Sam summoned the waitress, and ...

                                SAM
             My partner would like to know
             if you've got any henways on the
             menu?

                           WAITRESS
             What's a henway?

                               SAM
             About 3 lbs.

And with that, Andy tries not to laugh out loud, but does.  And, the tension is broken.  Sam finally realized that he should never have given Andy a hard time about the other night.  Because all she did was change her mind.
