My wife’s away.
Just before she left she instructed me to
buy a new car.
“I’m useless with cars, can you do it?” She
said this just after she had pulled in front of an oncoming, I have right of
way, solid and well-built automobile that drove the final nail into the coffin
of our wobbly rickety old Citroen.
Trouble is I’m useless with cars too.
I went online and put “wobbly rickety
Citroen” into the search. It seems that no one drives them anymore, they
belonged to another century.
I went to the local garage.
“What do you want?”
“Something wobbly and rickety, I have a
budget of 3000 euro.”
He looked around.
“There’s this “ he said pointing to the
fence, and then laughed.
On the way home I saw a car in the village
with a for sale sign.
It had four wheels, was about the right
length but was the wrong colour. What’s more, they wanted 3500 for it.
So I went to the supermarket, there’s a
notice board of small ads next to the carrots.
There was a Peugeot for sale; it had a nice
serial number and a very, very low kilometerage.
But it was WAY out of my price range.
Then a small ad caught my eye.
Llama for sale.
500 euro.
I couldn’t resist.
