Flat Tyre
« on: 07 January 2010, 23:50:16 »

I had a flat tyre yesterday, so I got out of the car and opened the boot.

I took out my cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic.
They look so life like you wouldn't believe it!  They are  exposing their nude bodies to the approaching drivers.

Cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men which made it safer for me to work at the side of the road.

Traffic starts backing up.  Everybody is honking their horns and waving like crazy. It wasn't long before a police car pulled up behind me.

'What's going on here?'

'My car has a flat tyre,' I said calmly.

'Well, what are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?'

I couldn't believe that he didn't know.. So I told him,

'Helloooooo, those are my Emergency Flashers.'  ;)

I was a tyre fitter in the late 70s and early 80s and remember doing some Denovos on Rover P6s and IMHO were a royal pain in the arse!!! They had a wire around the inside of the rim with little canisters attached and once used were a right mess!!!
