The uglier and fatter of the two asked me (in Greek, of course) if I had a wife. I told her I didn't. So, she went on to ask, "Are you looking for one?"

I guess she didn't really care whether I was a "good one," only that I might be one;.

I learned when i was 16 though it remains a hard task, especially with having to avoid hitting all the stupid pedetrians walking on the back up roads that bracket most of our major roadways in urban and suburban areas.

Back in Ioway where I grew up and started aiming (I learned to drive much later), you scored points for hitting pedestrians. One of the admired feats, for example, was for the driver to get close enough to a pedestrian that the shotgun rider could nail him or her with the car door.

Points were subtracted, of course, for elderly or infirm targets.

If I may offer a hypothesis, perhaps she had spent so much time complaining about one, that she just needed a break to do the other.

To be exact, an old Russian joke, about a Chukcha. Lets see how far your knowledge of Russian culture goes.

I understand she does have some outstanding features. I suppose it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Vulcans are, in fact, mammals.


Her most outstanding feature, of course, was that she knew how to keep her mouth shut.

Which proves that she certainly was not a human female.

Exactly. Indeed, it does bring some question to the female description, which is then fully rebutted by her second most outstanding feature(s?).

She can't start taking lessons before she's 17.

I was 24 when I learned to drive, never had the need for it before that.


Is it common for a family in the UK to have more than one car?


Well old boy, most of us do. Normally it's a Range Rover for touring the estate grounds and a Rolls for the weekly trip to market. Of course we mostly just use our Aston Martins for day to day stuff.

I'm impressed, but no.

Chukcha comes to Moscow, walks out of Sheremetyevo, catches a taxi. The taxi is tooling down the road when an old lady with an avoska suddenly steps out from between two parked cars. The drivers swerves suddenly, realizes he didnt hit the old bag, breathes a sigh of relief. From the back seat he hears his passenger [insert appropriate accent here] Ahh, Moscow taxi driver is a bad hunter. If Chukcha didnt open the door a good 20 kilos of meat would have gotten away.

I've actually got an MG, well sort of Not an MGB or anything like that mind, a ZS, a 2.5L engine is a nice bit of poke for a young lad like I was when I got it.


Mr Royce is partly responsible for plenty of skinned knuckles, bruised arms and infected cuts I realise they aren't the same company anymore, but still Mr Rolls is just as bad.
