There was a joke about a guy who sued another guy for calling him a gorilla. And the judge asked him, "How long ago was that? When did your friend call you a gorilla?" The guy said, "It was ten years ago." And the judge said, "Why didn't you sue him ten years ago? Why are you suing him today?" The guy said, "Because I just went to the zoo yesterday, and saw a gorilla for the first time!"

There was an old man, who was driving his car home on the highway. And suddenly the phone in his car rang. It was his wife calling him, and she said,. "Hey John, I'm sorry to disturb your driving, but you know what? A report on the radio said there was a crazy man driving the wrong way on the highway.So please be careful, okay?" And the husband said, "Oh, yeah! But it's not just one person; there are hundreds of them!"

There was a lady who was learning to drive, and she was very, very nervous. Whenever she saw a car coming from the opposite direction toward her, she began to panic; she would sweat and drive badly. Especially when it was only a two-lane road, she became very scared.

But then after a few days, she became very calm. Whenever she saw a car coming from the opposite direction, she didn't panic or tremble anymore. So the instructor, praising her driving, said, "Oh, you've improved! That's good; you don't panic anymore when you see another car coming." And the lady said, "Yes, now I've learned. Every time I see another car coming from the opposite direction, I just close my eyes and don't see anything!"
