Signs you may Have bought a bad car
Posted by: root <root@...>
1. As you leave the used car lot, you see the owner rush out with a
gigantic smile and high-five the salesman.
2. You notice that the car phone they threw in "for free" has a
direct line to Moes's Towing Company.
3. The booster cables are not in the trunk but are permanently
soldered to the battery.
4. The hood has been equipped with a push-button device for quick and
easy opening.
5. The "Purchased From" sticker at the bottom of the rear license
plate has been removed.
6. You get a "Good Luck" card from the previous owner.
7. As you drive up to a service station for gas, the mechanic opens
the big door and waves you in.
8. When you leave for work the next morning, you notice a tow truck
parked about a block from your driveway. As you go by, it silently
falls in behind you.
9. The little "Service Engine" warning signal in the dashboard comes
on and reads "Me Again."
Missed Ferry
============
This guy loved living in Staten Island, but he wasn't crazy about the ferry.
If you missed a ferry late at night, you had to spend the next hour or so
wandering the deserted streets of lower Manhattan.
So, when he spotted a ferry no more than fifteen feet from the dock, he
decided he wouldn't subject himself to an hour's wait. He made a running
leap and landed on his hands and knees, a little bruised maybe, but safe on
deck.
He got up, brushed himself off, and announced proudly to a bystander, "Well,
I made that one, didn't I?"
"Sure did," the bystander said. "But you should have waited a minute or two.
The ferry is just about to dock."
