AMPARO FERNÁNDEZ GOT THE LAST JOKE STRAIGHT AWAY. HERE GOES A LONGER ONE!!
A woman and man get into a car accident. Both of their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither one of them is hurt.After they crawl out of the wreckage, the woman says, “Wow, look at our cars — there’s nothing left! This must be a sign from Him that we should be friends and not try to pin the blame on each other.”
The man replies, “Oh yes, I agree with you completely.”
The woman points to a bottle on the ground and says, “Somehow this bottle of Scotch from my back seat didn’t break. Surely God wants us to drink this Scotch and celebrate our good fortune.”
She hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, and chugs about a third of the bottle to calm his nerves. The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, “Aren’t you having any?”
The woman replies, “No. I think I’ll just wait for the police.”
