FLAT TYRE

A CAR GETS A FLAT TYRE ON THE

MOTORWAY ONE DAY.

THE LADY DRIVER EASES IT OVER

ONTO THE HARD SHOULDER

OF THE ROAD.

SHE CAREFULLY STEPS OUT OF

THE CAR AND OPENS THE TRUNK.

SHE THEN TAKES OUT TWO

CARDBOARD MEN,

UNFOLDS THEM AND STANDS THEM

AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE

FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

THE LIFELIKE CARDBOARD MEN

ARE IN TRENCH COATS AND APPEAR

NAKED TO APPROACHING DRIVERS. 

NOT SURPRISINGLY,

THE TRAFFIC BECAME SNARLED

AND BACKED UP.

IT WASN'T VERY LONG BEFORE A

POLICE CAR ARRIVES.

THE OFFICER, CLEARLY ENRAGED,

APPROACHES THE LADY OF

THE DISABLED VEHICLE YELLING,

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" 

"MY CAR BROKE DOWN, OFFICER"

SAYS THE WOMAN, CALMLY. 

"WELL, WHAT THE HELL ARE

THESE OBSCENE CARDBOARD PICTURES

DOING HERE BY THE ROAD?!"

ASKS THE OFFICER. 

"WELL,

THOSE ARE MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS!"

SHE REPLIES.
