Anecdote

A lady was driving down the road. She noticed that a big truck seemed to be following her and minutes later was sure of this because the driver began honking every few minutes. Since she was along and in a deserted area, she was frightened. Finally she came to a filling station and stopped. The truck stopped also and when she got out of the car to tell the gas attendant about the driver, the driver came over and quietly told her that there was a man in the back seat of her car. Each time the truck driver had honked, the man in the backseat was about to hit (or shoot) the lady.
