From the sublime to the ridiculous

POLOS

June 16th, 2002 Posted in Uncategorized

I was sat in my car the other day, parked in a busy high street and waiting for a work colleague to finish shopping. I knew she would be a while and it was a nice day so I sat back and did a spot of people-watching.

Everything seemed normal until I noticed two women, laden with shopping bags, wander up to a shiny silver Volkwagen Polo. One of the women had a set of keys in her hand and tried to unlock the car. When there was no response from the vehicle, she looked a tad surprised and tried again. Still nothing. She tried using the automatic unlock and pointed the key towards the mirror. Nothing. So she put her bags down, took a pace back, still visibly confused, and tried the door handle. The alarm went off at impressively high volume and everybody in the high street turned to see what was happening. Obviously embarrassed, she tried the key once more and still the same thing happened. She looked around for help, hoping that someone could help her unlock her car so she could drive home and get away from such an embarrassing incident.

It was only then she noticed that her car was, in fact, parked three cars in front.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Situation: discussing cricket fixtures
Player 1: ” I got an email from Epsom Cricket Club the other day asking if we wanted to take part in a tournament. Why they chose to contact me and not anybody else, I don’t know?”
Player 2: “because you’re the fixtures secretary…..”
