"Driving"
Jill was out driving her car and while stopped
at a red light, the car just died. It was a busy
intersection and the traffic behind her starting
growing. The guy in the car directly behind
her started honking his horn continuously
as Jill continued to try getting the car to start
up again.
Finally Jill gets out of her car and approaches
the guy in the car behind her.
"I can't seem to get my car started," Jill said,
smiling. "Would you be a sweetheart and go
and see if you can get it started for me. I'll
stay here in your car and lean on your horn
or you."

"Doug And Bill"
Doug and Bill had started a business from
scratch, and they built it up in to one of the
most successful companies, with sales in
the millions. The company was extremely
prosperous and Doug and Bill lived like kings.
Almost overnight, things changed. Sales
dropped sharply, former customers disappeared,
and the business failed. Doug and Bill blamed
each other for the troubles, and they parted on
unfriendly terms.
Five years later, Doug drove up to a decrepit
diner and stopped for a cup of coffee. As he
was wiping some of the crumbs from the
table, a waiter approached the table. Doug
looked up and gasped, it was Bill.
"Bill," he said, shaking his head. "It's a terrible
thing, seeing you working as a waiter in a place
like this."
"Yeah," said Bill, curling his lip, "But at least I
don't have to eat here."
