Have A Coke and Smile

"Have A Coke and Smile"

While traveling recently, a friend went into a
convenience store to prepay for gasoline and
returned with two plastic bottles of soda which
he handed to his wife. To her dismay, it fizzed
and formed all over her lap.

Several miles down the road, my friend asked
for his soda. Handing it to him, his wife warned,
"Be careful. These are really over carbonated."

When he opened his bottle, it barely hissed.
Eyes on the road he nonchalantly said, "That's
a relief. I was worried it would spray all over me.

You must have gotten the one I dropped."

"Traveling Across America"

On a long drive from Virginia, I thought I was traveling
at a reasonable speed, but the flashing blue lights
in my rear-view mirror made me realize that I'd been
over the limit.

I handed the officer my license and made small talk
while my wife dug through the glove compartment
for the registration.

"I'm usually very careful about my speed," I told
him as my wife handed me the paperwork.

The officer studied it and then gave it back.

"Sir," he said gruffly, "this is not your registration."

It was a warning ticket I had received for speeding
in South Carolina.
