Flat Tire

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 two cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing on-coming traffic.  They looked so life like you wouldn’t believe it!  They’re dressed in open trench coats that exposed their nudity just a bit to the approaching drivers.
 
But to my surprise, cars started slowing down to look at my lifelike men.  And, of course, traffic began backing up.  Everybody tooted their horns and waved like crazy.  It wasn’t long before a state trooper pulled up behind me.
 
He got out of his car and walked towards 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, “Helloooooo, those are my emergency flashers!”

Wish I had some of those…would be so fun! Open-mouthed smile

  5. Happy Friday, Cat!
    Very cute story!
    Here's one for you. Yesterday my brother told me he was going to get gas and passed by a local strip club. There was a fire truck in the parking lot, and all the strippers were standing outside. My brother said the traffic was so slow, it took 10 minutes to move one block.
    Just think! Firemen and strippers - something for everyone!

    Ella is Always Happy on Fridays!
