The Voice

A man was walking down the street when suddenly he heard a voice from out of nowhere: “Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you.”

The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him.

Astonished, the man continued walking, and after awhile he was going to cross the road when once again the voice shouted: “Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step, a car will run over you and you will die.”

The man did as he was instructed, and sure enough, a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him.

Looking around him, the man shouted out, “Where are you? Who are you?”

“I am your guardian angel,” the voice answered.

“Oh yeah?” said the man. “And just where were you when I got married?”
