Only funny if you have ever owned a samurai.
Our hero was happily driving along a western
desert highway in his lifted and locked Samurai
when, all of a sudden, the beastly little 4x4 just
died. Perplexed, he pulled off to the shoulder,
got out and lifted the hood.
Now, being a suspension wizard, but knowing
nothing about motors, he just shrugged his
shoulders and resolved to try to flag someone
down.
After a short time, a dust cloud appeared on the
horizon, immediately preceded by a bullet
travelling at an extremely high rate of speed.
A Dodge Viper was upon him in no time. He
frantically waved his arms, but the bullet just
screamed past. Disappointed, thinking that the
driver had not seen him, he turned to slowly
walk back to his ailing Samurai.
Arriving at the side of his Suzuki, he heard the
squeal of tires and looked back to see the Viper
returning in reverse. Out from the car climbed a
long, lean individual, kind of a young Clint
Eastwood of the spaghetti western days.
The owner of the Dodge offered to help the
Samurai guy out by giving him a tow to the
next town, about 20 miles down the road.
Accepting graciously, our hero only requested
that the Viper keep it below 40 mph, because
Samurais, as we all know, are subject to spontaneous
roll-overs at anything more than crawling velocities.
Upon departure, the Dodge guy gave our comrade
instructions to simply flash the headlights if he began
to travel too fast. As they slowly pulled onto the road,
our Samurai guy switched on his emergency flashers,
not noticing that the right side rear light was not functioning.
Following along at tow rope length behind the
Viper, Mr. Samurai then saw another dust cloud
in his rearview. It was closing so fast on his 4x4
that he braced for a rear end collision.
However, the Corvette driver got on the binders
at the last instant and laughed at the scare he
gave to our off-road enthusiast.
Only when pulling out to pass did the Chevy driver
see the low slung Viper in front of the short but tall Samurai.
Now, sports car drivers being the species of animal
that they are, simply cannot stand to be overtaken
by another car. So, the Dodge guy slammed it into
third and proclaimed, "We're off to the races". Our
hero, realizing the situation, began frantically to
flash his headlights, but to no avail. 70, 80, 90,
100 mph and climbing. Helpless, the Samurai guy
valiantly gripped the steering wheel as the two
maniacs screamed down the road, side by side...
With the speed still climbing, the three-car convoy
reached the crest of a hill and broke down over the
other side. "Uh oh," a radar trap. However, the
drivers of the Viper and Corvette didn't even get
off the gas and screamed past the cop at 130 mph!!!
The police officer jumped into his black and white,
headed out in pursuit and radioed ahead for
backup.
"Attention County Sheriff Smith, Attention Sheriff
Smith, We've got a heck of a drag race out
here on the Interstate. A Viper and a Corvette
passed side by side through my radar at 130
miles an hour, with a Suzuki Samurai hot on their
tail, signalling to let him pass!!!"
