Highway Panic
A young woman had along drive a head of her that
night. She pulled into a service station to refuel, then went
inside to pay and buy herself a gum and potato chips. As she
drove off, a huge truck pulled out beside her.
Out on the highway once again, the girl realized that the
truck was very close behind, uncomfortable close. She stepped
on the accelerator, but to her dismay, the truck driver
accelerated, too.
I must be imagining this, she thought, trying not to
panic, yet whether she slowed down, changed lanes or
speeded up, the truck stayed with her. Its big headlights
shining straight into her ear.
Unable to stand it any longer, the girl turned into the
next station she came to. The truck pulled off, the highway on
her tail, jamming on the brakes, she jumped put and raced to
the drivers side of the truck.
At the same moment, a man leapt out of the back of her
car where he had been crouching ever since the last stop. The
truck driver was too quick for him and caught him just as he
tried to make it to the open field behind the station.
Later, after the police had come, the driver went over to
the young woman. I saw him jump into your car just before you
came out of the station back there. But there was no time to
warn you before you drove off. The only thing that I could think
of was to stick to close to you with my high beams flooding
your car so that he would know. I would see him if he tried to
do anything to you.
All she could say, with a mighty sigh of relief was, and
here I was wondering how I was going to shake off a crazed
truck driver.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
In this chance, I would like to talk about corruption. It is
the hottest discussion that becomes everybodys topic of
discussion and debates.

Ok, ladies and gentlemen, I believe you know the

meaning of corruption, so what is the relation between money
and corruption?. Well, corruption is common everywhere in the
world, even in the United State. Its just a matter of the intensity,
however that makes Jakarta the most corrupt place in
Indonesia. It makes me sad.
As we all know from Tanjung Priok port, smuggling is no

enough.
