Antique Autos
This fellow owned a Model T Ford in good condition with antique license plates and he liked to drive it on the highway on weekends to keep the engine alive. One day he broke down and pulled over to the side of the road and soon a Mercedes came along and offered assistance. The old fellow asked to be towed to a gas station a few miles down the road but please don't exceed 15 m.p.h.. The hook up was made and they started out when a BMW came whizzing by and passed them doing 80 m.p.h. The fever of the autobahn seized Mercedes and oblivious to his tow, took off after the Bimmy with Ford honking his "oo-googah" horn in despair. As they passed the gas station the owner phoned his friend down the road - "Come outside quickly and you'll see the darndest thing - a BMW doing 80 followed by a Mercedes doing 80 followed by a Model T who is blowing his horn - he wants to pass!" (You golfers would recognize this as wanting to play thru.)
