>I bought my wife a new car. She called and said, "There is water in the carburetor." I said, "Where's the car?" She said, "In the lake."

2 twin sisters are given identical VW bugs for graduating from high school. They each drive to the mall the next day to show their friends their new car. One of them starts crying and yells to her sister, "OH my God, my engine has been stolen! ". To witch, her sister replies, "Don't worry, there's a spare in the trunk. ".

JukePlz t1_jdhmn5c wrote

there's no mentions of cars or driving tho. I think it's just a joke about marital violence, since "accident" is ambiguous

Oddly enough a Cop and his Chief in my State, recently got into trouble for arresting a Woman for being Drunk in her own Home, after someone else crashed his Car into a Bush on her Property …

Steve Lehto covered it on his YouTube Channel:

It could make sense very briefly if they arrived and saw a drunk lady by a car and assumed she’d been driving it. One would think this would be cleared up very quickly though…

Nope …

They came back to first Breathalyze, then arrest her, and finally conduct a Warrentless Search!

Similar thing happens to my wife, and as much as she insisted the guy she hit was drunk, the police insisted that he's allowed to be inside the bar she drove through.

My Dad is 80. He still has a landline, but last summer he told us kids to use his cell as the default now. I think he's getting rid of it this year.

My Mom is 78, and broke. She uses the landline because it's cheaper. My brother and I talked at Christmas about just putting her on one of our plans instead. Unlimited talk and text plus shared data for like 20 bux more a month. She pays 25ish for very limited minutes.

Kjata2 t1_jdh7to0 wrote

Sure, but those are the ones that need qualifiers. "Phone" defaults to smart phones these days, anything else is the unusual one.

gambled94 t1_jdhwho9 wrote

Hardly. Most people got rid of them because why pay for a land line when you pay for a cellphone.

Pause_Affectionate t1_jdihmch wrote

Because if you live in hurricane prone Florida and need to call 911 or family, cell service and WiFi goes down when the towers go down. Land lines go through.

Only if the phone lines are buried below ground. If they’re above, they’re just as vulnerable as above ground power or other utility lines.

Yes, agreed. They're buried. Like our chances of ever having a normal governor...

"Better you than us"... WHAT? Look, I'm sorry you had Scott Walker. I don't wish Desantis on anyone. That's not the spirit or the answer.

Our phone provider changed to Voip lines instead of normal land lines. So lights go down, no phone service. Found this out and got rid of the "land line".

SpiralSuitcase t1_jdhogm1 wrote

Your casual misogyny is not the point. The joke only works if at first her excuse seems reasonable, and then the punchline turns it around and MAKES it unreasonable. Otherwise there's no subversion and no joke.

Somebody else already commented it, but it works better if she tries to claim he was drunk. A drunk person could conceivably stumble in front of your car, and it wouldn't legally be your fault if you hit them. Then the punchline actually changes things.

dxkds t1_jdi7u54 wrote

So am I mistaken or is everyone else wrong. The accident that she got in was with a homeless man. So in his defense he can do whatever he wants in his living room.

leyline t1_jdia7gs wrote

He didn't have to be homeless.

The humor is the expectation that the man would be at fault for the car accident because being on the phone AND drinking at the same time is very dangerous [while driving].

However expectations are subverted when it is revealed that the wife hit the man in his own living room. Actual living room, in a home. Therefore the man was not being dangerous, did not cause the accident, and above that it is wild that the woman drove through someone's house and hit them in their own living room.

SnakePlisken_Trash t1_jdinywy wrote

I had suspicions that my wife might be cheating. I work almost 50 miles away. So, one day I went home around lunch and parked down the street and walked to my house to see if I could catch her. Wouldn't you know it, there was another strange car in my driveway. As I got to the corner of property I snuck up and hid behind my boat. I could see it looked like she was making out with someone in my living room and to make sure they didn't see squatted down behind my boat transom. Looked like they were taking each other's clothes off..... OMG ! That's when my heart sank and I realized all my suspicions were true, there was gear oil directly under the prop on the concrete. That's why I've been losing power on those really long runs. and having trouble getting reverse. Time for all new seals let's hope she don't need a new lower unit.
