Judi was bored with driving her BMW. She fancied something a bit more
individual, perhaps an MG convertible. That week, she visited her local car
dealer and spied a beautiful Jaguar XK140 convertible. It was wonderfully
restored and she fell in love with its gorgeous red paint work. An empty
check stub later and off she was tearing down the leafy country lanes
enjoying her beautiful new car. Her long blonde hair was flowing in the
wind, music blaring from the radio - what could possibly go wrong?
At that thought, there was a splutter from the engine and the car slowly
coasted to a stop. She got out and lifted the hood and concluded, after a
few minutes, that she didn't have a bloody clue what was wrong. Luckily,
she had her mobile phone with her and a quick phone call to the AutoClub
and a short wait later, she saw a bright shiny yellow van pull up behind
her.
"That's a lovely car," said the mechanic. "What seems to be the matter?
Judi replied, "Well, it just conked out I'm afraid."
"Let me have look." He set to work and ten minutes later the engine was
purring like a cat again.
"Thank goodness," she said. "What was the matter?"
"Simple really, just crap in the carburetor," he replied.
Looking shocked she asked, "Oh. How many times a week do I have to do
that?" >>
