A poetic justice story

On a Sunday several weeks ago, a friend was leaving our church parking lot in her Yukon land-yacht as I was entering our smart. She stopped, rolled down her window, and asked if I had to wind it up before I could go.

I smiled and gave some polite reply that I always keep the key handy.

Well, the following Wednesday, we both were back for some evening activities and her land-yacht battery was dead, so she came back in a panicked state asking if anyone could help.

Even with cars parked on either side, I was able to squeeze in and get her going. She said that never again would she ever make anything but positive comments about our smart.

It was quite a sight seeing the smart jump a Yukon!

That's what you get for driving a land yacht.
