Jim was driving home from the office one day when he found himself stuck in traffic because all the cars ahead of him had come to a complete standstill on the freeway.
Nothing was moving at all. Suddenly Jim noticed that there was a police officer walking down the line of traffic and approaching the car in front.
So Jim got out of his car and asked the police officer why there was a problem.
“Sir I’m so sorry for the inconvenience but the city’s Mayor is sitting in the middle of the road ahead and he’s in a state of extreme agitation,” said the police officer. “He says he’s deep in debt and he’s threatening to douse his body with gasoline and then set fire to himself,” the police officer added.
“So what are you doing?” asked Jim. “I’m going from car to car asking for donations,” the police officer responded.
“And how much have you collected so far?” Jim inquired.
“Well sir,” said the police officer, “we’ve only just started but drivers ahead have given us fifteen gallons so far, and other drivers are still siphoning as we speak.”
