TECWAE

Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate.  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 lifelike you wouldn't believe!  
They are in trench coats, exposing their nude bodies to the approaching   
drivers.                                                                  
                                                                           
I started to change my tire, and to my surprise, cars started slowing down                                                                            
looking at my lifelike men. And of course, traffic started backing up.    
Everybody was tooting their horns and waving like crazy. It wasn't long   
before a state trooper 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 are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?"      
                                                                           
I couldn't believe that he didn't know.  So I told him, "Hello-o-o-o-o-o, 
those are my emergency flashers!"
