One From the Road
Funnier than road rage!
Butt Officer, I Swear I Don’t Know Where My License Is! This poor woman is missing more than her license, (like possibly her skirt and her mind for starters) but what do you think she is really looking for? Is her license merely a ruse to hide a search for deeper, darker things? Could she be looking at the remains of a broken fan-belt or perhaps what’s left of a motor? Or maybe she really needs some answers from the inventor of the first true automobile. That would have been Germany’s Karl Friedrich Benz (1844-1929), who in 1885 invented the first gasoline automobile powered by an internal combustion engine. (Yes, Benz of Mercedes-Benz fame). Whatever our poor damsel is in search of, it is unlikely she will ever find it. No ifs, ands or butts about that! http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/auto.html
