A man was driving down the road one day when he saw a car with a flat tire parked on the shoulder. A woman was looking down in dismay at the flat tire. The man decided to play the part of the Good Samaritan and pulled over to help. He grew hot and sweaty and dirty as he changed the tire. As he finished, the lady said, “Be sure to let the jack down easily now, because my husband is sleeping in the back seat of the car!”
