Snooze for 5 miles on an interstate? Car is Definitely in the ditch!


I walk past the car that's resting gently in the ditch with water up to the doors.

"What happened?" I ask the driver, who's standing on the shoulder looking at his sinking car.

"I fell asleep." He says. "And I woke up in the ditch."

"Were you wearing your seatbelt?"

"Yes."

"Do you hurt anywhere?"

"No."

He checks out as perfectly fine. Answers my questions appropriately and doesn't want to go to the hospital.

"Where were you going?"

"Home."

"Where do you live?"

"In ****Town."

"****Town? The exit for that is 5 miles back!" Exclaim I.

"Yep, I fell asleep."

Damn!
