A funny news story

As part of my boss’ teaching on Wednesday nights, he does an “In the News” segment. The last few weeks he has asked me to look up some funny or odd news stories (he likes to end on one then go into the lesson). Here is one I found and have placed on top of the pile for Pastor Mark to review:

0 To 200 In Just A Few Seconds

A couple had been debating buying a vehicle for weeks. He wanted a truck. She wanted a fast little sports-like car so she could zip through traffic around town. He would probably have settled on any beat up old truck, but everything she seemed to like was way out of their price range.

“Look!” she said, “I want something that goes from 0 to 200 in just a few seconds. Nothing else will do and my birthday is coming up you better surprise me!”

He did just that. For her birthday, he bought her a brand new bathroom scale.

Nobody has seen or heard of him since.
