Yesterday I had a flat tyre 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 life like you wouldn't believe it! They were in trench
coats exposing their nude bodies to the approaching drivers.
To my surprise, cars started slowing down looking at my lifelike men
which made it safer for me to work at the side of the road. And of
course, traffic started backing up. Everybody was tooting their horns
and waving like crazy.
It wasn't long before a state trooper pulled up behind me. He got out
of his car and started walking toward me. I could tell he was not a
happy camper!
What's going on here?
My car has a flat tyre, I said calmly.
Well, he asked, what are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?
I couldn't believe that he didn't know - so I told him, Hellooo! Those
are my emergency flashers!
