A Filipino man parked his brand-new BMW in front of his office
building, ready to show it off to his
colleagues.
As he got out, a truck passed too close and completely
tore off the door on the driver's side. The Filipino
immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed the police,
and within minutes a policeman pulled up.
Before the policeman had a chance to ask any
questions, the Filipino started screaming hysterically
as some of his office colleagues reached the scene
too.
His BMW,which he had just picked up the day before,
was now completely ruined and would never be the same,
no matter what the body shop did to it.
When the Filipino finally calmed down from his
ranting and raving, the policeman shook his head in
disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how
materialistic you Filipino people are," he said.
"You are so focused on your possessions that you don't
notice anything else."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the Filipino.
The policeman replied,"Don't you know that your left
arm is missing from the elbow down? It must have been
torn off when the truck hit you."
"Oh My God!" screamed the Filipino. "Where's my
Rolex?"
