Always give clear instructions
About five years ago the battery in my beat-up VW beetle had died because I left the lights on overnight .
I was in a hurry and needed to get to work on time so I ran into the house to get my wife to give me a hand to start the car.
I told her to get into our second car, a prehistoric oversized Pergeot 405 estate, and use it to push my car fast enough to start it. I pointed out
to her that because the VW had automatic transmission, it needed to be pushed at least 30 MPH for it to start. She said fine, hoped into
the estate and drove off. I sat there fuming wondering what she could be doing.
A minute passed by and then I saw her in the rear view mirror coming at me at about 40 MPH, it was then that I realised,
I should have been a bit clearer with my instructions! :evil
