Don't Follow Too Closely!

There was this guy who was really scared to drive in the snow. (He couldn't have been from Buffalo!). One day it was snowing very hard but he had to go to work. The snow was so thick he could scarcely see 50 feet in front of his car. He was pleased when a snowplow pulled in front of him from a side street. He remembered that his father had told him it was safer to follow a snow plow than to go it alone. So he made sure to stay a short distance behind the snowplow.

He couldn't see the names of the streets they were passing and he didn't remember that the road to work had so many turns in it but he kept following the snowplow. When the plow stopped, he stopped too and he was surprised that the driver of the snowplow got out of the cab of his truck and came back to his car. He rolled down the window and through the snow the snowplow driver asked if anything was wrong because he noticed that the same car was folowing him. The car driver responded, "No, nothing wrong. I just think it's safer to follow a plow rather than go it alone in this blizzard." "No problem," the plow driver said, "you can follow me if you want. I'm through with this KMart lot and now I'm going over to Walmart's!"
