Cute story about my new car
I bought a new Focus and returned to the dealer the next day because I couldn’t get the radio to work. The salesman explained that the Focus has Sync and the radio was voice activated. ‘Nelson,’ the salesman said to the radio. The Radio replied, ‘Ricky or Willie?’ ‘Willie!’ he continued and ‘On The Road Again’ came from the speakers. Then he said, ‘Ray Charles!’, and in an instant ‘Georgia On My Mind’ replaced Willie Nelson .

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I’d say, ‘Beethoven,’ I’d get beautiful classical music, and if I said, ‘Beatles,’ I’d get one of their awesome songs.

Yesterday, while I was driving along the freeway some guy doing about 80mph pulled right up on my bumper, and after slowing to tailgate me for a few seconds, swung into the passing lane just long enough to barely get around me. Then he suddenly cut back into my lane close enough that I couldn't even see his tailights.

I spiked my brakes in panic to give this Dale Earnhart wannabe his room and instinctively yelled "ASSHOLE"!

The voice on the radio asked me: "Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck?"

Damn, I LOVE this car.

4. I like to call it an "anecdote"
A joke sounds too slapstick.

I gotta get dressed now, I'm going to the Chevy Arena to see Robby Kneivel, he's going to jump 500 Republicans with a bulldozer.

...There's a "joke"
