Driving to work, a gentleman had to swerve to avoid a box that fell out of the truck in front of him. Seconds later, a policeman pulled him over for reckless driving. Fortunately, another office had seen the carton in the road. The policemen stopped traffic and recovered the box. It was found to contain large upholstery tacks.
“I’m sorry, Sir,” the first trooper told the driver, “but I am still going to have to write you a ticket.”
Amazed, the driver demanded to know the reason.
The trooper replied . . . “Tacks evasion.”
