A truck driver used to amuse himself by running

A truck driver used to amuse himself by running
over lawyers he would see walking down the side
of the road. Every time he would see a lawyer
walking along the road, he would swerve to hit
him, and there would be a loud "THUMP" and then
he would swerve back on the road.

One day, as the truck driver was driving along he
saw a priest hitch hiking. He thought he would do
a good turn and pulled the truck over.

He asked the priest, "Where are you going,
Father?"


"I'm going to the church 5 miles down the road!",
replied the priest.

"No problem, Father! I'll give you a lift. Climb
in the truck".

The happy priest climbed into the passenger seat
and the truck driver continued down the road.
Suddenly the truck driver saw a lawyer walking
down the road and instinctively he swerved to hit
him. But then he remembered there was a priest in
the truck with him, so at the last minute he
swerved back to the road, narrowly missing the
lawyer. However even though he was certain he
missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud "THUD".
Not understanding where the noise came from he
glanced in his mirrors and when he didn't see
anything, he turned to the priest and said, "I'm
sorry Father. I almost hit that lawyer".

"That's okay", replied the priest.

"I got him with the door!
