Exploding Cars

Most auto accidents occur

Within 10 miles of your home,

At speeds under 50 miles per hour.

Conclusion: Wear a seat belt while playing your piano.

Cell phones are not to be engaged

While pumping gas.

It seems the phones could cause a spark

Leading to an explosion.

Looking at fellow drivers filling their cars

I wonder what would happen

If several made or received calls now?

Could we have a chain reaction?

If the morning news trumpeted

A terrorist attack at the Costco gas line

Would the Dow loss 1,000 points in 30 seconds?

Would the air national guard scramble jet fighters?

Would all cell phones then be silenced world wide?

Could this be another Jewish conspiracy?

Next we’d hear from an eye witness:

“There was a “pop” followed by a “boom!”

“With each boom a puff of smoke issued,

And the car collapsed, like a balloon deflating.

The person filling the car shot up about 20 feet,

Followed by another airborne victim.

“ Like snap, crackle & pop cereal, man!

All the gas people slammed down

Near their cars, holding the ashes of

What must have been a cell phone.”

Amazingly no serious injuries were reported.

However, we understand that several of the victims

Are seeking to sue Costco for destruction of car and phone,

Coupled with recovery of the cost of gas poured.
