Setting: My husband and a neighbor are orchestrating their annual fireworks display. Illicit aerials from Wisconsin burst noisily overhead. Illegal rockets give off an impressive red glare.
The two of them have just ignited their New Yorker Salute finale—a “500 Gram Maximum Load Repeater” or some such thing—when a squad car pulls into the cul-de-sac.
Officer: Nice display you got here.
My husband: Thank you.
(boom)
Officer: That’s the last one, right?
(bang)
My husband: Yes.
Officer: Good. Have a nice night.
He politely takes his leave and we all breathe.
Feeling glad to still have my husband,
