When a car skidded on wet pavement and struck a telephone pole, several bystanders ran over to help the driver.

A women was the first to reach the victim, but a man rushed in and pushed her aside.

"Step aside, lady," he barked. "I've taken a course in first-aid!"

The women watched for a few minutes, then tapped him on the shoulder.

"Pardon me," she said. "But when you get to the part about calling a doctor, I'm right here."
