Many years ago, a middle aged woman was going
to take a car trip to visit family in another state.
Her family was against this because it was a long
ways to and she'd be alone. They were afraid for
her safety. But the old lady would not be deterred.
She went to the local department store and asked
if she could rent or borrow a male mannequin
(clothed, of course). Since their's was a small town
and the store management knew her, the answer
was "yes".

So, off she went with the mannequin in the
passenger seat. Her family was satisfied.

After she had gone a few miles, the mannequin fell
over. She righted it and went a ways farther and it
fell over again. This happened time and time again.
Finally, she got disgusted and threw it in the trunk.

Later, she stopped for gas, the sttendant asked if
she'd like to have the spare tire checked for pressure
since he had checked all the other tires.
She said, "Sure."

After she had gassed up, she drove on. About three
blocks down the street a cop pulled her over, asked
her to get out of the car and give him her keys. She
didn't know why, but she did as told. After the cop
looked in the trunk he hand-cuffed her and took her
off to the police station.

Finally, they told her that it had been reported that
she had a dead, dismembered body in her trunk.
