Joke from my management book
A motorist was driving on the Merritt Parkway
outside New York City when his engine
stalled. He quickly determined that his battery
was dead and managed to stop another driver
who consented to push his car to get it started.
âMy car has an automatic transmission,â
he explained, âso youâll have to get up to 30
or 35 miles an hour to get me started.â
The second motorist nodded and walked
back to his own car. The first motorist climbed
back into his car and waited for the good
Samaritan to pull up behind him. He waitedâ
and waited. Finally, he turned around to see
what was wrong.
There was the good Samaritanâcoming
up behind his car at about 35 miles an hour!
The damage amounted to $3,800.
