A married couple is driving along a highway doing a
steady 60 miles per hour. The wife is behind the wheel. Her husband
suddenly looks across at her and speaks in a clear voice. "I
know we've been married for twenty years, but I want a divorce."
The wife says nothing, Keeps looking at the road
ahead but slowly increases her speed to 65 mph. The husband speaks
again. "I don't want you to try and
talk me out of it," He says,
because I've been having an affair with your best friend, And
she's a far better lover than you are."
Again the wife stays quiet, But grips the steering wheel
more tightly and slowly increases the speed to 75 He pushes his
luck. "I want the house," he says insistently..
Up to 80 . "I want the car, too," he continues.
85 mph. "And," he says, "I'll have the bank accounts,
all the credit cards and the boat!"
The car slowly starts veering towards a massive concrete
bridge. This makes him nervous, so he asks her,
Isn't there
anything you want?"
The wife at last replies in a quiet and controlled voice.
"No, I've got everything I need," she says. "Oh, really," he
inquires, "so what have you got?"
Just before they slam into the wall at 85 mph,The wife
turns to him and smiles. "The airbag."
