Fair Warning

The other morning after she finished reading the obituaries my wife turned to the front page of the newspaper and frowned then declared, That is ridiculous.
Buried in the sports page I muttered, What’s ridiculous?
John Edwards says he can’t be prosecuted because the government didn’t give him ‘fair warning’ he was violating the law.
Mind half-wandering, I said. You think that’s unreasonable?
She looked across the table at me over the rims of her reading glasses. You try driving down the highway going a hundred miles an hour then tell the highway patrolman that you can’t be prosecuted because the government didn’t give you fair warning.
