A blonde was driving down the road one afternoon, enjoying the ride and listening to the radio.

Suddenly, she looked ahead and screamed.

There was a tree right in front of her car.

Panicking, she swerved sharply to the left.

But somehow, the tree was still there.

She gasped, turned the wheel hard to the right, and tried to avoid it again.

Still, the tree stayed directly in front of her.

Completely terrified, she swerved back and forth across the road, trying desperately to escape it.

A few seconds later, her car slid off the road and rolled into a ditch.

Thankfully, she wasn’t badly hurt.

When the police officer arrived, he helped her out and asked, “Ma’am, what happened?”

The blonde, still shaken, pointed toward the road and said, “Officer, I tried everything! I swerved left, I swerved right, but that tree kept jumping in front of me!”

The officer looked around, confused.

“A tree?” he asked.

“Yes!” she insisted. “It was right there the whole time!”

The officer leaned into the car, looked at the rearview mirror, and sighed.

Then he kindly explained:

“Ma’am… that was the green air freshener hanging from your mirror.”
