Truck Driver school

The Navy anchor joke reminded me of this one.

On the last day of truck driving school Charlie is taking his test, and the examiner is asking him all kinds of questions. The examiner asks "What would you do if your headlights went out?" and Charlie says "I'd have old Joe, my co-driver, shine a flashlight out the window so we could keep going."

The examiner says "OK, but you shouldn't rely on your partner to help you with problems. What if you're backing up and the trailer starts to jack-knife, what would you do?" and Charlie says "Well, I'd have old Joe, my co-driver, hop out and help direct me." The examiner says "I guess that would help but you shouldn't rely on your co-driver all the time."

For his last question the examiner decides he's going to give a question that no co-driver in the world can help with. "Okay, now what do you to if you're on a steep downhill grade, the road is really icy, your brakes are locked up, and at the bottom of the hill is a narrow bridge with a hazardous materials truck coming the other way at you?" Charlie thinks a minute, and he says "Well, I'd reach over and shake old Joe awake because he ain't never seen a wreck like we're about to have!"
