Yesterday I had a flat tire on the Interstate, so I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully got out and opened the trunk. I took out two cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of the car, facing oncoming traffic. They looked so lifelike you wouldn't believe it! They are in trench coats, otherwise nude, exposing themselves to approaching drivers. But to my surprise, cars started slowing down, looking at my lifelike men. 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 starting walking 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 heck are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?"
I couldn't believe that he didn't know, so I told him, "Helloooo, those are my emergency flashers!"
