🎯 Pun
I just got hit by a rented car.
It Hertz.
Why This Joke Works
"Hertz" sounds exactly like "hurts" while also being the name of the car rental company. The setup perfectly plants the rental context so the punchline earns both the physical pain and the brand name simultaneously.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Perfect for:
- •At an airport near the rental car counters
- •When someone is picking up or returning a rental car
- •During travel horror story swapping with friends
