A long time ago, before cell phones, I was coming home from the airport late one night driving my old piece of junk pickup truck. The junker actually drove decently, but it had one fatal flaw: the gas gauge didn’t work and I could never tell how much gas I actually had in the tank. Usually, I just did this sort of mental math and knew where I was with the contents of the tank and how many miles I had driven. Also, I was in the habit of pushing the button on the trip meter so that I could see how many miles I had driven. However, it had been sitting at an airport parking lot for a week and I didn’t remember if I had pushed the trip meter or not. I guess I had not, perhaps forgetting to do so in the excitement of planning my upcoming trip. Well, no surprise, I ran out of gas. It was about midnight on a dark country highway. It’s no fun getting stranded like that. Fortunately, my emergency flashers alerted a police officer, who pulled over and helped me get ahold of my dad. Luckily, I didn’t have to pull out the same flashers the lady in the joke below did. Enjoy this hilarious joke!
Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate.
So I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road carefully, got out of the car and opened the trunk. I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They looked so lifelike you wouldn’t believe it! They were in trench coats exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers.
As I expected, cars started slowing down looking at my lifelike men. And of course, traffic starts backing up. Everybody is tooting horns and waving like crazy. It wasn’t long before a state trooper pulls up behind me. He gets out of his car and starts walking toward me. I could tell he was not a happy camper!
“What’s going on here?”
“My car has a flat tire”, I said calmly.
“Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?”
I couldn’t believe that he didn’t know. So I told him………
“Hellooooo, those are my emergency flashers!”
