A small-town police officer was making his usual late-night rounds when he noticed two elderly women sitting quietly inside a sedan in the middle of a closed used car lot.
Puzzled, he walked over, tapped on the driver-side window, and asked, “Excuse me, ladies, but what are you doing inside this vehicle at this hour?”
One of the women rolled down the window and smiled sweetly. “Oh, officer, we actually bought this car earlier today!”
The patrolman frowned, looking around the pitch-black, empty lot. “Well, if it’s your car, why don’t you just drive it home?”
“Oh, neither of us knows how to drive,” the second lady chimed in cheerfully.
Now completely bewildered, the officer stared at them. “Let me get this straight… you don’t know how to drive, but you bought a vehicle anyway? Why on earth would you do that?”
The first old lady blushed slightly, leaned closer, and whispered, “Well, everyone in town told us that if we bought a car from this specific lot, we’d absolutely get screwed… so we’re just sitting here waiting!”
