A man was driving home from work late one afternoon when the battery in his car conked out.

Fortunately, he was near the garage where he bought the battery just six months ago. He called a tow truck.

Inside the garage, he complained to the owner. "My battery died!" he said. "When I bought it from you only six months ago, you said it would be the last battery my car would ever need!"

"Sorry," the owner replied. "But I was being truthful. I didn't think that pile of junk you drive would last six months!"
