I had been walking for miles after my car broke down coming back from a hectic day of exhausting meetings hours out of town.

Since leaving my vehicle the weather had turned and I could see a downpour was inevitable before I would find a place to call for help. So I decided to try hitchhiking.

The first 5 or 6 cars passed me by, the drivers staring forward pretending to not see me. But eventually someone did pull over and just in time! As I got into the car the first couple of expected raindrops fell on the hood and windshield.

As we pulled away from the side of the road the driver asked me, "Aren't you afraid I might be a serial killer?"

Looking dead ahead, I replied, "The odds of two serial killers being in the same car are extremely unlikely!"

The absolute silence in the car, as we travelled to the next town, was the most peaceful part of my whole day!
