The truck and the bridge

Creative, lateral thinking, and "experts"

A truck driver tried to go under a low bridge, but the truck was too tall and got stuck.

Traffic began piling up behind him, and soon policemen, firefighters, and other truck drivers gathered around to try to help.

A mechanic suggested they dismantled the truck.

An engineer suggested they dismantled the bridge.

But noen of the solutions seemed feasible.

Finally, a little boy who was watching it all from the backseat of his father’s car said “Daddy, why don’t they just let a little air out of the tires?”.

Genius and simple!
