A Filipino parked his brand-new BMW in front of his office building in NY, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck passed too close and completely tore off the door on the driver's side. The Filipino immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed the police, and within minutes a policeman pulled up.
Before the policeman had a chance to ask any questions, Filipino started screaming hysterically about his new car as some of his office colleagues reached the scene, too.
His BMW, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter what the body shop did to it.
When the Filipino finally calmed down from his ranting and raving, the policeman shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you Filipino people are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else."
"How can you say such a thing? asked the Filipino.
The policeman replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is missing from the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."
"Oh My God!" screamed the Filipino. "Where's my Rolex watch?!"..
