Thank God for Understanding Spouses

Katie Hayden's husband Bob and another passenger took matters in hand when a pair of passengers were causing a disturbance on an airline flight. Bob is a retired cop, the other passenger a retired Marine.
During the fracas, Katie kept reading her book; an agitated woman ahead of her wondered how Katie could just keep reading. This was her reply:
Bob's been shot at. He's been stabbed. He's taken knives away. He knows how to handle those situations. I figured he would go up there and step on somebody's neck, and that would be the end of it. I knew how that situation would end. I didn't know how the book would end.
To all the spouses who put up with their loved one's poorly-paid, wrong-righting, dangerous, windmill-tilting, long-houred, unappreciated jobs, and who support them with humor, calm, patience, strength and understanding,
Thank You.

Jack
