Let the snowploughs through!

On a bitterly cold winter's morning a husband and wife in Sunderland were listening to the radio during breakfast. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowploughs can get through".
So the wife went out and moved her car as instructed.

A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowploughs can get through".
The wife went out and moved her car again.

The next week they are again having breakfast when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park......." Then the electric power went out. The wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowploughs can get through?"
To which the husband replied "Why don't you just leave the bloody car in the garage this time?"

Thanks to MadPriest!

Surely. Why wouldn't it have been?

I think it would have been funnier.

Eigentlich ist es mir ganz Egal aber ...
The joke is very traditional with some underlying assumptions about men, women, cars, obeying instructions, logic reasoning and such ... now if you change the order those I will laugh more because I will see that as another dimension in the joke. But I don't know others might react differently .. ;D
