A couple had been looking at new cars for months. He wanted a simple truck and she wanted a fast little sports car so she could zoom through traffic and look like a princess. He would have settled for almost any old truck, but everything she wanted was way out of price range.

“Look!” she said. “I want something that goes from 0 to 220 in 5 seconds or less. My birthday is coming up and you should surprise me!”

The husband lived a few short seconds after he watched his wife unwrap her brand new bathroom scale.
