Thanks to lifetime subscriber Laurel Hennessy for this one:

A middle-aged man was sitting in a truck stop when three mean-looking
bikers walked in. The first walked over to the man and stubbed a
cigarette out in his soup. Then the second biker spat in the soup.
Finally the third biker picked up the bowl of soup and threw it on the
floor. Without saying a word, the man got up and left.

"He wasn't much of a man, was he?" sneered one of the bikers to the
waitress.

"Not much of a truck driver, either," she said. "He just backed his
truck over three motorcycles."
