Do you like riddles?
Okay, let me give you a riddle.
So there's a father and a son who are driving in the middle of the night on a deserted country road.
There are no lights around, completely pitch black.
And all of a sudden, a deer jumps in front of the car.
The car smashes into the deer.
It's a terrible car accident.
The father is killed instantly.
The son is in critical condition and must be rushed to the hospital.
When the son gets to the hospital, he's placed on the operating table.
The surgeon barges into the operating room, takes one look at the child and says, I can't operate on this boy.
He's my son.
How can that be?
Do you know the answer?
Okay, think about it.
I'll say it one more time.
I'll say it one more time.
I'll say it a little faster this time, but same basic story.
Father and son on a dark, deserted road.
They're driving father and son together in a car.
