He who laughs last, laughs best

Nina and Luis were a couple, they had gone to the movies, they were coming back very happy talking about the film. Suddenly they saw in the distance the light of a headlight coming at full speed. Nina says: «They're motorcycle thieves, what do we do?». Luis says: «You run to the left, since it's the wrong way down a one-way street, and I'll go to the right».
Without thinking twice the two young people took off running. Luis thought: I have to start training, I have no speed. Nina took off her heeled shoes and ran barefoot and thought: I'm going to wear shoes with lower heels and after this I'm going to go to the gym once a week.
A few blocks later they found each other, they hugged, each one said they were afraid of what might happen to the other, but neither of them had seen the motorcycle. They thought: what if it wasn't a motorcycle? It could have been a bicycle, or a car with only one working headlight. At that moment they let out their fear in a great burst of laughter. The laughter after the fear.
