Don’t Look Back

A woman was walking down the street.

A man noticed her and started following her.

The woman stopped and asked:

– Why are you following me?

– I fell in love with you.

– Well, my sister is much prettier than I am. And she is right behind you. Have a look.

The man looked back only to find out that there was nobody there.

Disappointed, he turned to catch up with the woman again, but she was already gone.
