Be Sure It’s Not You
IllustrationStory★★★★As a man was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. When he answered, he heard his wife warn him urgently, “George, I just heard on the news that there’s a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful coming home!” “I’m there right now,” said George, “and it’s not just one car. It’s hundreds of them!”
