Joke of the day
Thu, 26/03/2009 - 21:35
I suppose the "joke of the day" should be related to driving but if it's fit for a family audience and funny - who cares.
Here's the first:
My son came home yesterday and said,
“Dad, the car won’t start, but I know what the problem is.”
I asked him what it was and he told me it has water in the carburetor. I thought for a moment, then said,
“You know I don’t mean this badly, but you don’t know the carburetor from the accelerator.”
”No, there’s definitely water in the carburetor” he insisted.
”OK, son, that’s fine, I’ll just go take a look. Where is it?”
”In the lake.”
A learner is driving down a main road when she sees a blue light in the rear view mirror, and hears the police siren. She pulls over.
The traffic policeman comes up to her window and says, "Excuse me, but are you aware that when you went round that roundabout back there, your driving instructor fell out of the passenger door?"
The learner says, "Thank God for that! I thought I'd gone deaf!"
Nice one, Kat.
Here's another - a question from the theory test:
You are driving at a constant speed: on your left is a sheer drop, on your right is a fire engine travelling at the same speed as you.
In front of you is a galloping pig the same size as your car and travelling at the same speed as you. Behind you is a helicopter travelling at ground level and travelling at the same speed as you.
What do you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?
Get off the kiddies merry-go-round, you're far too old for that now!!

Here's one of his:
So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted' and I swerved ...
And he rang up a second time and said 'you've been promoted again' ...
And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said 'you're Managing Director' ...
And I went into a tree. A policeman came up and said 'what happened to you?' ...
And I said 'I careered off the road.'

After twelve attempts, my boyfriend finally passed his driving test.
I asked him what I could get him as a celebration gift.
"Just something cheap to run around in," he said.
So I bought him a pair of trainers from Lidl.......
