husband and wife are driving down the motorway, with the wife behind the wheel, when the husband suddenly looks over at her and says, "Darling, I know we've been married for twenty years, but I want a divorce."

The wife says nothing, keeps looking at the road ahead, but slowly increases her speed to 65 mph.

"And don't try to talk me out of it," he says "Because I am having an affair with your best friend and she's a far better lover than you are."

Again the wife stays quiet, but grips the steering wheel tightly and slowly increases the speed to 70 mph.

He pushes his luck. "I want the house," he says insistently.

She inches up to 80 mph.

"I want the car, too," he continues.

She is now doing 85 mph.

"And," he says, "I'll take the bank accounts, credit cards and the boat."

The car starts veering towards a massive concrete wall. This makes him a wee bit nervous, so he asks her, "Isn't there anything you want?"

The wife replies in a quiet and controlled voice, "I've got the only thing I need."

"Oh really?" he enquires. "So what have you got?"

Just before they slam into the wall at 90 mph, the wife turns to him, smiles and says.....


"The airbag!"
