A very successful politician parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck came along too close to the curb and completely tore off the driver's door.
Fortunately, a cop in a police car was close enough to see the accident and pulled up behind the Lexus, his lights flashing.
But, before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the politician started screaming hysterically about how his Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, how it was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how hard the body shop tried.
After the politician finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you politicians are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the politician.
The cop replied, "Don't you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!!!"
"OH, MY GOD!" screamed the politician "MY ROLEX!"
