A Joke I Wrote While Driving

I was driving behind a truck and I could see through the rear window that the driver was holding his cell phone to his ear with one hand and holding his coffee cup with the other. Then I noticed his bumper sticker: HOW AM I DRIVING? I pulled along side him at a stoplight, rolled down my window and said to him, “I give up. How?"

Here’s the joke writing process: I really was following a commercial vehicle that had a sticker that read, “HOW AM I DRIVING?” followed by a phone number and vehicle code. The driver was talking on his cell phone. I asked myself, “How can I turn this into a joke?” So… I put a cup of coffee into his other hand and changed the word “HOW“‘s meaning from the way the sticker meant it; “to what extent, degree, etc.” to “in what way or manner?”

Then I made sure the story made sense and that most people could relate to the situation and voilá a joke is born! I dictated it into my trusty digital recorder and here it is, for your dining and dancing pleasure.

Another Reason I Love My Job!

Yep, I travel a lot. Sometimes I fly, sometimes I drive. I used to put 60,000 miles a year on my car. Not so much anymore. But passing sights like this make it all worth it. Near Ouray, Colorado on my way home from Grand Junction. image
