The story is told about a perfect man who met a perfect woman.  After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding.  Their life together was, of course, perfect.
One stormy Christmas Eve this perfect couple was driving along a winding road when they noticed Santa Claus broken down on the side of the road with a huge bundle of toys.  The perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys in their vehicle and started delivering toys.  Unfortunately, the roads got iced over and they had an accident.  Only one of them survived.  Who was it?
 
The answer – the perfect woman, because after all, she’s the only one that really existed in the first place.  Everyone knows there’s no such thing as Santa Claus or a perfect man.
