Quick joke

I don't know if I have time to write up our whole trip to Pennsylvania last weekend, but I'll try to post a few of the cooler pictures I took before too long. But here's an exchange between me and Teri on the way home. It was night time, quite dark outside as our scene opens. Teri is driving the car:

Me: ...and so I-
Right front tire: BAM! Rumble, rumble, silence.
Me: What was that?
Teri: I don't know. Should we stop?
Me: Is the tire flat? It doesn't feel like it. We should check it.
Teri: How are you going to see the tire?
Me: Oh yeah. We don't have a flashlight in this car. Do we?
Teri: No.
Me: Dammit. I wonder what that was. We should get off in a lighted parking lot and check that tire.
Teri: It's quiet now. It doesn't feel as if the tire is flat.
Me: Hmm.
Teri: I could really use some coffee. I wish there was a Dunkin' Donuts around.
Me: Well, let's look for an exit with a Dunkin' Donuts and kill two birds with one stone. Then after we're done killing the birds, you can get some coffee and I'll check the tire.
