Flat Tire

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 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of
my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so life-like you wouldn't believe it!
They are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies to the approaching
drivers. To my surprise, cars start slowing down looking at my life-like men
which made it safer for me to work at the side of the road.
And of course, traffic starts backing up. Everybody is tooting their
horns and waving like crazy.

It wasn't long before a state trooper pulls up behind me. He gets out of
his car and starts 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 are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?'
I couldn't believe that he didn't know. So I told him,


'Those are my Emergency Flashers.'
