Would you watch my car

A tourist climbed out of his car in downtown Washington, D.C.

He said to a man standing near the curb, “Listen, I’m going to be only a couple of minutes.

Would you watch my car while I run into this store?”

“What?” the man huffed. “Do you realize that I am a member of the United States Senate?”

“Well no,” the tourist said, “I didn’t realize that. But it’s all right. I’ll trust you anyway.”
