CAR TROUBLE….
Tuesday, July 19th, 2005
Sidney is cruising along the highway when his car starts
misfiring, losing power and, finally, stalling. Sidney
steers the car to the side of the road and tries to
re-start the engine without any luck. He calls AAA
whose service man arrives a short while later, listens
to the Sidney’s account of the car’s failure and lifts
the hood of the car to start work. As he knows nothing
about engines, Sidney wanders off a little way for a
smoke. As he is returning to his car, the engine suddenly
starts and runs without a single misfire or puff of
smoke from the exhaust. “Brilliant!” declares Sidney,
“You managed to fix it. Was it easy to do?”. “Yeah”,
says the AAA service man “Just shit in the carburetor”.
Sidney thinks for a second and says, “OK. How often
should I do that then?”
