Notes:
dry off 〈…を〉すっかり乾かす

A long time ago, an Italian man was driving 100 miles an hour (about 160 kilometers an hour) on a California highway. The police stopped him, but he didn’t speak any English. When they found a translator, the driver told them that he saw the sign for Route 101. He thought it was the speed limit! Last Monday, a 67-year-old Canadian man was caught driving even faster. He told the police that he just wanted to dry off his car after washing it. The police didn’t believe him. They took away his license and made him pay $800. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Today is Father’s Day. Did you know that Father’s Day became a tradition much later than Mother’s Day? Mother’s Day became official in the U.S. in 1914, but Father’s Day didn’t become official until 1966. Now Father’s Day is celebrated in more than 40 countries around the world. In most countries, it is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. Do you celebrate it? Did you get a present for your father? If so, what did you give him? Please leave a message and let us know.(by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
