Road trip

 

While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their trip. When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table, and she didn’t miss them until they had been driving about twenty minutes.

By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses. All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man. He fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her, the more agitated he became. He just wouldn’t let up one minute.

To her relief, they finally made it back to the restaurant. As the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her, “While you’re in there, could you get my hat and credit card?”

 

 

A few of our favorite driving habits

 

Happily cruising down the middle lane of a motorway with either indicator flashing, but going nowhere.

 

Happily cruising down the middle lane of a motorway, even when the road is almost entirely empty.

 

Picking your nose and believing that no one can see you.

 

Not realizing that there is a setting for your lights other than high beam.

 

Indicating you are moving into a lane that you’re already halfway into.

 

Falling asleep at the wheel, just in time for the stoplight to turn green.

 

Sounding your horn one nanosecond after the lights change to green if the car in front hasn’t sped off.

 

Sending sprays of wiper wash right over the top of your car and onto the windshield of the one in back.
