A truck driver frequently traveled through
a small town where there was a courthouse at the side of the road. Of course, there were
always lawyers walking along the road. The truck driver made it a practice to hit any
pedestrian lawyers with his truck as he sped by.
One day, he spotted a priest walking along
the road and stopped to give him a ride. A little further along, as he approached the
town, he spotted a lawyer walking along the side of the road.
Automatically, he veered his truck towards
the lawyer, but...then he remembered his passenger. He swerved back to the center, but he
heard a "whump" and in the rear view mirror he spotted the lawyer rolling across
the field.
He turned to the priest and said,
"Father, I'm sure that I missed that lawyer!"
And the priest replied, "That's
OK, my son, I got him with the door."
