A married couple are
driving along a highway doing sixty mph, the wife behind the wheel. Her
husband suddenly looks over to her and says, “Honey, I know we’ve been
married for 20 years, but I want a divorce.” The wife says nothing but
slowly increases her speed to 70 mph. He then says, “I don’t want you to
try to talk me out of it because I’ve been having an affair with your best
friend, and she’s a better lover than you are.” Again, the wife stays
quiet but speeds up as her anger increases. “I want the house”, he
insists, pressing his luck. Again, the wife speeds up to eighty mph. He
says, “I want the car too”, but she just drives faster and faster. By now
she’s up to ninety mph. “All right”, he says, “I want the bank accounts,
and, and all the credit cards too.” The wife slowly starts to veer toward
a bridge overpass piling. This makes him a bit nervous, so he says, “Isn’t
there anything you want?” The wife says, “No, I’ve got everything I need.”
“Oh really,” he says, “so what have you got?” Right before they slam into
the wall at a hundred mph, the wife smiles and says, “The airbag!”
