The other

his car keys. The house started up. So, he drove it around
for a while. He was speeding down the road, and a cop pulled
him over. The cop asked where he lived and he replied,
"right here, officer". Later, he parked the house on the
freeway, got out, and yelled at all the cars to get out of
his driveway! |
