As told by Pit Weston...
A man is driving on a deserted road and comes to see a man on the side of that road
with a flat tire. The driver stops his car and offers to help. When he is done,
the grateful man asks him for his address to send him a reward for helping him. The
helpful man declines and declines, but finally gives in. Then both man get in
their cars and drive off.
Two weeks later, the man receives a letter in the mail that says:
"Thank you for helping me, here is a little something to say thanks. Signed, Donald Trump."
Inside is a check for 10,000 dollars.
An auto mechanic who specialized in BMWs was driving on Interstate 5 and spotted a BMW on the shoulder of the road, with the driver standing beside it. The mechanic stopped and asked if there was anything he could help with. The driver thanked him and explained that he had called BMW's roadside assistance line and was now just waiting for the BMW person to show up.
He insisted and was finally allowed to look at the car. He found nothing more than a loose wire, reattached it, and the car ran fine. The driver turned out to have been Bill Gates. Mysteriously, the mechanic's house mortgage was fully paid up the next week.
