Small Japanese Sedan #2

A small Japanese sedan pulls over on a lonely road. The overweight woman driving stares furtively at her husband in the passenger seat. The husband awakens confused.
“What’s wrong? Did we break down?”
The woman is still trying to stare furtively at him, “Remember when we used to do this all the time?”
“What the hell, Lois? I thought we were going to McDonald’s.”
The overweight woman scowls and steps hard on the gas pedal so that her husband’s head smacks the head rest.
