At the car wash, baby...

Yesterday, a student told us a story about how she drove her company car (for her part-time job) into the car wash...and forgot to wind the window up! This resulted in a very wet interior, and, I imagine, an unhappy boss. 

It reminded me of a story told by Jeff Lucas, a funny Christian writer, in one of his books.

In that particular story, a lady was in a very luxurious car, leather interior etc, and she had electric windows - the car wash began, and she realised one of the windows was open - she tried to close it, but it didn't work. However, her improvisational abilities were working very quickly and she managed to block the window - using her bottom! :-) The result? A dry interior, but a very wet bum.

I advised my students to do likewise in future. It's great to be able to teach on such practical matters, and not just about English!

Time for a song...
