A twice married and divorced well-to-do business man named Ralph felt he finally found his soulmate in a woman half his age. Dorothy, his new wife, was pretty, dirty blond hair, and not all that bright, but Ralph didn’t care. He would do anything to make her happy, and on Dorothy’s birthday he called her out to the front yard.
“Happy Birthday!” he shouted as he proudly showed off Dorothy’s gift, an immaculate 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 2 door hardtop classic car.
“Wow!” Dorothy exclaimed. “That’s a really ancient looking car. It must be more than thirty years old!”
“Try fifty, Honey! I have a business trip to go on. This car will make you a ton of money. There’s a bunch of events coming up in Stafford County and when I get back, I bet you’re gonna make me a happy man when I find out how well you did. “
Ralph left on his trip, and upon his return, as he was driving up the block to his house, he noticed a tow truck in his driveway. Pulling up he saw his dear old classic car on the truck bed, smashed to smithereens. Running into the house, he yelled for Dorothy.
“What in the world happened to your car?”
“I won first prize, $1000, that’s what happened, “Dorothy replied.
“First prize, where?” Ralph asked astonishingly.
“At the Stafford County demolition derby!”
