A young man was proudly showing off his brand-new sports car to his girlfriend. The engine roared, the road was empty, and she was loving every second of the ride.
“Wow,” she laughed, gripping the seat, “this thing is amazing!”
He grinned, feeling more confident than ever.
“Tell you what,” he said. “If I get this car up to 200 miles per hour, will you take off your clothes?”
His girlfriend, caught up in the excitement, smiled and said, “Yes!”
So he pushed the car harder and harder. The speed climbed, the engine screamed, and when the needle finally hit 200, she kept her promise and stripped off everything.
Unfortunately, the young man was so distracted that he took his eyes off the road. The car hit loose gravel, skidded wildly, and flipped into a ditch.
The girl was thrown clear, completely unharmed but completely naked. The young man, however, was trapped under the steering wheel.
“Go get help!” he shouted.
“I can’t!” she cried. “I’m naked, and my clothes are gone!”
“Here,” he groaned. “Take my shoe and cover yourself.”
So she held the shoe in front of herself and ran to the nearest service station.
Breathless, she burst in and yelled, “Please help! My boyfriend’s stuck!”
The owner looked down at the shoe and said:
“There’s nothing I can do, miss… he’s in too far.”
