Which Am I? Elmer or Porky?

The other night, my wife and I were conversing over one thing or another and I kicked into my newly found Parkinson’s stutter.

Gail said, “I’m going to have to start calling you Elmer.”

“Elmer?  Why?”

“Isn’t he the cartoon character who stutters?”

“No,” I said.  “You’re thinking of Porky Pig.”

“Oh, that’s right,” she said.

“Yeah, Elmer has problems with his “L” and “R” sounds.  I don’t have that problem.”

“Not yet,” she said without even looking at me.

My wife.  She woves me vewy, vewy much!
