Johnny loves me!

Every morning, rain or shine, Johnny Barnes stands by one of the round-a-bouts that leads into town and greets everyone who drives by. He usually waves, blows kisses and yells "I love you". He's been doing this for years, and has become a local celebrity. They've even erected a statue of him near where he stands.

This morning I took a slightly different route to work than normal, so that I passed him. I was in the lane closest to him and because of the heavy traffic, I was sat there for a little bit. During this time he was shouting that he loved me over and over. At first I said "have a nice day", but he kept shouting it. So as I drove away, I yelled, "I love you too!"
