Conversations With My 92' Volvo

Me: Hey buddy, ya ready to go for a little drive?

The Volve: We’ll see…

Me: What do you mean we’ll see? I need to get to the packy before it closes.

The Volve: I meant we’ll see... I don’t know if I feel like going anywhere right now, it’s cold and I’ve only got a half a tank in me.

Me: Well, I really don’t think that this is up to you, but how about I let you warm up for a couple of minutes? And maybe I will even bring you to get some gas on our way home?

The Volve: You can try and let me warm up, but I’m warning you, I’m gonna screech like a banshee for the majority of the ride.

Me: What? Why would you do something like that?

The Volve: HEY! You know I need new belts. You’ve been neglecting me for months, you haven’t even driven me since the summer!

Me: You know I’ve been at school dude. Why don’t we go for a drive and catch up a little? Listen to some DMB, like old times. What do ya say?

The Volve: Fine, that does sound pretty nice. Lets go!

Me: That’s more like it!

As we pull out of the drive way The Volve begins screeching wildly, while simultaneously sputtering and backfiring.

Me: Alright old friend, this is ok, We can just turn up the DMB and get through this together.

The Volve: Oh yea, The C.D. player is broken.

Me: Good God I hate you.

Have you thought about your soul

I just joined a natural products company as a sales representative and am really excited about it. The other day I was on a plane next to a really nice old couple. After a few minutes of small talk, they mentioned that they both had bad arthritis. I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to tell them about our products. I gave a 10 minute talk about how our products... Read More » could improve their daily life. They listened intently and then ended by saying they would not need it because God would tell them when to die. Turns out they were Jehovah's Witnesses, who spent the rest of the plane ride concerned about my immortal soul.
