This joke is just too bad not to forward! One of
those everyone groans and moans over. Sorry--just had to share.

A recent college graduate took a new job in a hilly Eastern
city and began commuting each day to work through a tiring
array of tunnels, bridges and traffic jams. To make the task
less onerous, he invited several of his coworkers to share
the ride. He soon found, however, that the commute continued
to get more stressful, especially the trips through the
tunnels. He consulted the company doctor.
"Doc," the frustrated commuter complained, "I'm fine on the
bridges, in the traffic, in the day and at night, and even
when Joe forgets to bathe all week long. But when I get in
the tunnels and I've got those four other guys crowded around
me in the car, I get anxious and dizzy and feel like I'm
going to explode."
Without further analysis, the doctor announced he had
identified the ailment.
"What is it, Doc? Am I going insane?"
"No, no, no, my boy. You have something very common in these
parts."
"Tell me! What is it?"
"You have what is known as Carpool Tunnel Syndrome."
