A well-known member of Congress parked his brand new Lexus in front of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he was getting out, a truck came along too closely and completely tore off the driver's-side door.
Fortunately, a Capitol cop in a police car was close enough to see the accident and pulled up behind the Lexus with his lights flashing.
Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the congressman started screaming hysterically about how his Lexus, which he had just purchased the day before, was completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how any car body shop tried to make it new again.
After he finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you politicians are," he said. "You are so focused on money and material possessions that you neglect the most important things in life."
"Important things like what?" demanded the congressman.
The cop replied, "Don't you even realize that your left arm is missing? It was severed when the truck hit you!"
"OH, MY GOD!!!" screamed the congressman. "MY ROLEX!!!"
