Near Miss

A truck driver was driving down the highway when he saw an elderly priest at the side of the road. He stopped to give him a ride.

Further down the road the truck driver saw a lawyer along the side of the road and turned the truck on a direct course to hit him. Then he thought, "Wait, I have a priest in the truck, I can’t run down that lawyer." So at the last second the truck driver swerved to miss him.

Although he thought he hadn’t hit the lawyer, the truck driver still heard a thump outside of the truck. He looked in his mirror and saw the lawyer laying unconscious on the side of the road

Ashamed for what he had done, the truck driver turned to the priest and said "I’m so sorry Father, I really tried to miss that lawyer."

The priest said, "Don’t worry son, I got him with my door."
