Green Beetle

"Bugs on Highway" *

*Heading down the interstate, our car passed
through a huge swarm of gnats so dense that
their bodies made popping noises as they hit
the windshield.

"I can't get over how loud they are," my wife said.

"Well, we are hitting them at 65 miles an hour," I
pointed out.

Her reply left me speechless. "There's no way bugs
can fly that fast!"

"Green Beetle"*

*Jill recently bought a new Volkswagen Beetle,
that bright green color. The first day she had it she
made all kinds of excuses to run errands. One of
these errands was to pick up clothes at the dry
cleaners and go to the grocery. The dry cleaners
and the grocery are in the same strip mall so she
got a few things at the grocery, then ran by the
cleaners and got the clothes. Having her hands
full she laid the clothes on top while putting the
groceries in the car.

When she got home she was beaming, "You wouldn't
believe how many people waved and honked their
horns at the car and me on the way home." she said
to her kids, "people must really think this car is neat!"

About that time a car pulled up in our drive and a
man got out with an armload of our clothes. "Excuse
me," he said, "but I've been trying to get your attention
for two miles, your clothes landed on my hood just
after you pulled out of the parking lot."
