"Car thief" joke
A well-known politician had the misfortune of locking himself out of his car leaving the keys inside. After trying out other keys and prodding the tightly shut windowpanes, he thought he would insert a wire in the key hole and twist it round: if car thieves could open them that way why not he? Unfortunately, while he was at it, a policeman came up and grabbed him by the arm.' Whose car are you trying to steal?, he demanded gruffly.
'It's my car,' replied the politician somewhat taken aback. The policeman slapped him across the face as well as cast reflections on the fellow's relations with his mother and sister. Screaming with rage the outraged politician returned the compliments to the constable and showed him the label on the windscreen which proclaimed his name and eminence in public life. It was the turn of the policeman to apologise and make amends:' Sahib, you must forgive me! You must be the only politician who does not know how to break open a lock.
