Husband : - I've lost my wife. She went shopping yesterday and has not come home.

Sergeant : - Build?

Husband: - Not slim, not really fat.

Sergeant : - Color of eyes?

Husband : - Never noticed.

Sergeant : - Color of hair?

Husband : - Changes a couple times a year . .. . maybe red.

Sergeant : - What was she wearing?

Husband: - Could have been a skirt or shorts. I don’t remember exactly.

Sergeant : - Did she go in a car?

Sergeant : - What kind of truck was it?

Husband : - Brand new Ford F150 with Eco-boost V6 engine special ordered with manual transmission. It has a custom matching white cover for the bed.

Sergeant: - Don't worry Bubba.......We’ll find your truck.
