A doctor, a reporter, and a congressman are driving down the interstate together. Suddenly, their car breaks down. None of them knows how to fix it, and none of them has any cell phone reception, so they're forced to sit by the road with their thumbs out, waiting for a ride.
A few minutes later, a massive truck pulling a huge trailer pulls off the road right next to them. Emblazoned on the side of the truck is the word "Zoo", and the man in the cab is wearing a zoo uniform. Quickly, they explain their predicament to the zookeeper, who then scratches his chin thoughtfully.
"Well," he says, "I've got room for two of you in the cab with me. I can take the third person also, but they'll have to ride in the trailer. The only problem is, I've transporting a rhinoceros to another zoo, so whoever it is, they'll have to ride in the back with him."
Well, the three stranded passengers are pretty desperate, so they agree. The doctor volunteers to ride in the back, and she jumps in while the reporter and the congressmen get in the cab. After driving for about half an hour, they hear some banging from back in the trailer and pull over and check it out. Out stumbles the doctor - she's white as a sheet and shaking like a leaf.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do it," she gasps. "That thing has me terrified!"
The reporter then volunteers to take her place, and off they drive again. They don't make it too far when they hear the banging again. Pulling over, they open the trailer door and out comes the reporter - holding his nose.
"It stinks back in there!" he exclaims. "I can't handle the stench. Someone else ride back there, please!"
Reluctantly, the congressman is persuaded to get in the back of the trailer, and they continue their drive. Again, they're only driving for a few minutes when they hear banging again, this time louder, more desperate than before.
"What now?" mutters the zookeeper as he opens the back of the trailer. Out stumbles the rhino - white as a sheet, shaking like a leaf, and holding its nose.
