Trucking
Published Jan 01, 1900
Two truck drivers, Ralph and Cletus, who drove as a team, were interviewing for a job at a new trucking company. Many questions were asked, and answered, with Ralph doing most of the talking as Cletus never had much to say. The interview was coming to a close with one more question. "Ralph, you're driving in the mountains in Colorado. You're going down a very steep grade with a very sharp curve at the bottom. All of a sudden, your brakes quit. What do you do?" Ralph scratched his chin for a bit, then said, "I'd wake up Cletus." The interviewer was puzzled and asked "Why wake up Cletus?" Ralph replied, "Because he ain't never seen a wreck like we're fixin to have!"
