''Do you have anytrhing to drink?'' asked the old man. The passenger handed the old man a soda, and he went away.

''Do you have a cup?'' said the old man's face.
Trembling, the passenger handed him a dixie cup. And the old man went away.
''Drive faster!'' said the passenger. So they pushed it to 100 mph. But ten minutes later, the face returns. ''What do you want from us?'' screamed the passenger.
The old man gently replied "You boys want some help getting out of the mud?"
