A driver drives up to the bank of a river and asks a policeman who was fishing if the water is deep. He answers that no, and the driver decides to drive into the river. However, the car sinks and the driver, unable to save his vehicle, barely manages to get out of the water.
Angry, he starts yelling at the policeman:
- You said the water was small, and I was about to drown!
- On my honor, 10 minutes ago it was small; some ducks passed by, and the water was barely up to their chests!
