Lucky Driver: An American Joke
-
Since this country just had another national war holiday, I thought something v USAnian might be fun. I just thought this story was funny, then realized that in places where borders are not a major political issue, the punch line here might not make much sense.
Also, fyi, there are some occasions when police hand out good driving notices of some sort, though hardly as generous as in the story. Don't know about the rest of the world, but in the US, seat belts are mandatory, but those may be state laws and not universal. These details change all the time. It was not much more than a decade ago that Texas changed its state law so that it is no longer legal to drink beer while driving!==
A police officer pulls over a driver and informs him that he has just won $5,000 in a safety
competition, all because he is wearing his seat belt."What are you going to do with the prize money?" the officer asks.
The man responds, "I guess I'll go to driving school and get my license."
His wife says, "Officer, don't listen to him. He's a smart aleck when he's drunk."
The guy in the back seat pops up out from under the blanket and says, "I knew we wouldn't
get far in this stolen car."Just then a knock comes from the trunk and a voice calls out, "Are we over the border yet?"
