A SAAB STORY

 What is unique, specifically, about this silly little SAAB STORY?

The Saab driver was hobbled after the accident and felt a bit addled and feeble, not to mention baffled and bugged.

“Uhho, I-I j-j-ust hit a gekko on the road!” he said out loud. “How silly of me, such a dummy, ninny and a fool!”

At that moment, he flipped out when he noticed he’d struck a sign that said “QQ Ranch” – but he was in such a big hurry to clean up his messy car, so he got out a little vacuum from the trunk (savvy move, he thought).

Then, he thought to call his friend to powwow about it all, and realized that she was an anti-vaxxer, so he didn't want to deal with her because she wasn’t so “YY” (he cleverly thought).

So instead he called his dizzy friend – whose car he had just totaled!
