emergency flasher

yesterday i had a flat tire on the trans canada hwy. 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 and private parts to the approaching drivers.
i started to change my tire, and to my surprise, cars started slowing down looking at my life like men. and of course, traffic started backing up. everybody was tooting their horns and waving like crazy.
it wasn’t long before a mountie pulled up behind me. he got out of his car and started 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 the h-ll are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?”
i couldn’t believe that he didn’t know. so i told him, “h-llo-o-o-o, those are my emergency flashers.”
– do you realize that the speed limit on this highway is 75 miles an hour? you were doing close to 85!
– but you were going at the same speed, officer! otherwise you couldn’t have caught up with me!
– yes, but i had to find out what the rush was as i didn’t see any emergency flashers …
