Job Promotion
I was driving to the office one morning when the car phone rang. I answered it, as it was a hands free of course, and my boss was on the other end telling me I had been promoted. This made me swerve the car.
A short time later that morning, as I was still driving to the office, the car phone rang again and again it was my boss telling me that once again I had been promoted, and again I swerved the car.
A short time later that morning, as I was still driving to the office, the car phone rang again and again it was my boss who this time told me I had been made a manager and I swerved the car off the road and hit a tree.
A policeman came to me and after asking me if I was alright, asked what had happened and I told him I had careered off the road.
