A truck driver was driving along the freeway. A sign comes up that read "Low Bridge Ahead." Before he knew it the bridge was right ahead of him and he got stuck under the bridge. Cars were backed up for miles. Finally, a police car came up. The cop got out of his car and walked around to the truck driver, put his hands on his hips and said, "Got stuck, huh?"
