It Was A Dark and Stormy Night . . . .

The guy, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door to realize that nobody was behind the wheel. The car started slowly forward. The guy looked at the road and saw a curve coming his way. Scared, he started praying, and begged for his life. He hadn't come out of shock, when just before he hit the curve, a hand appeared through the window and moved the wheel.
The guy, paralyzed in terror, watched how the hand appeared every time before a curve. The guy gathered strength, got out of the car and ran to the nearest town.
Wet and in shock, he ran into a store and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he went through. A silence enveloped everybody when they realized the guy had completely broken down was crying.
About half an hour later, two guys walked into the same store, and one said to the other.
"Look Pete, that's the idiot who climbed into the car while we were pushing."
