There was a man named John who had an old pickup truck. Every time he saw a lawyer at the side of the road, he swerved his truck and ran the lawyer down. He had decided that every lawyer he hit made the world a slightly better place.

One day, John was driving down the highway when he saw a priest hitchhiking. Well, John always considered himself an honest, god-fearing Christian, so he was happy to stop and give the priest a ride. The two of them talked for a few minutes as they continued down the highway.

John drove on for a while, until he saw a lawyer who was also hitchhiking. John was very happy to see this and he swerved his truck to hit the lawyer. But then John remembered that his passenger was a priest - he wouldn't be happy if they hit a pedestrian! So, at the last second, John swerved his truck back towards the center of the road. But much to his surprise and dismay, he still heard a loud thump as the truck skimmed by the lawyer. When he looked in his mirror, a body lay unmoving on the shoulder.

John didn't know what to say. He didn't want the priest to think badly of him. After a few seconds, he stammered: "I'm sorry, father! I thought that I missed that lawyer!"

The priest replied: "Do not worry my son. I got him with the door."
