Yugo, Yu Gone!

Take out the Kleenex. You may be distraught to know that the Yugo motor car (if this were advertising 'motor car' might be described as mis-leading!) is no more. Production has ceased in central Serbia, part of the former Yugoslavia.

Time magazine included this car in its list of 50 Worst Cars of all time. The car has become a cultural icon in a sense and a world-wide laughing stock.

To commemorate the demise of this wonder car, I thought I'd provide a few very old jokes about the car you never wanted to be seen in.

So - in the spirit of a motivational and business humorist, hitch up your pants, get on your bicycle which can probably go faster than any Yugo and enjoy a set of really corny but sometimes funny Yugo jokes.

BUT before we go to the old hoary old jokes, here's my very best original joke as a business humorist.
Q: What should Congress say to GM management?
A: Yugo (ba...boom)

Q: What did Alaska voters say to Ted Stevens?
A: Yugo (hey I'm on a roll here)

Q: What did the traffic cop say to the motorist?
A: You - GO

Maybe that is what you dear reader should say to me!

and the oldies but goldies!!


Q: Why does a Yugo have heated rear window?
A: To keep your hands warm when pushing.

Q: What do you call Yugo shock absorbers?
A: Passengers.

Q: What do you call a Yugo at the top of a hill?
A: A miracle.

Q: Did you hear the Yugo has an airbag? Yup, you start pumping just before you hit something.

Q: How do you get a Yugo to go 80mph?
A: Drive it over a cliff.

Q: What do you call a convertible Yugo?
A: A skip.

Q: How do you double the value of a Yugo?
A: Fill it with gas.

Definition of an optimist: Yugo driver with a radar detector!
