My husband, who drives an 18-wheeler, was halfway across a narrow bridge when his truck broke down. Placing hazard markers behind, he returned to his cab to wait for the tow truck.
A few moments later a small car drove over his markers and pulled up right behind his truck. My husband jumped out of the cab, ready to give the driver a piece of his mind -- only to discover an elderly woman at the wheel.
Before he could say a word, she shouted, "NEED A PUSH?"
