A married couple is driving along a highway doing a steady forty miles per hour. The wife is behind the wheel.

Her husband suddenly looks across at her and speaks in a clear voice. " 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 45 mph.

The husband speaks again,
" I don't want you to try and talk me out of it, because I've been 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 more tightly and slowly increases the speed to 55. He pushes his luck.

" I want the house,"
he says insistently.

Up to 60.

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

65 mph.

He says,
" And I'll have the bank accounts, all the credit cards and the boat."

The car slowly starts veering towards a massive concrete bridge.

This makes him a wee bit nervous, so he asks her :
" Isn't there anything you want ?"

The wife at last replies - in a quiet and controlled voice.

" No, I've got everything I need,"
she says.

He inquires,
" Oh, really ?
So what have you got ?"

Just before they slam into the wall at 75 mph, the wife turns to him and smiles, " The airbag."

Never underestimate how a woman thinks.
