A funny thing happened...

No seriously I'm curious, who are you?

One of my blog viewers told me a cautionary tale today....read on for more.

Now imagine you work in London with a long commute to and from work. You're lucky that you have a variety of different modes of transport to and from work. Sometimes you use the train, other times a coach, occasionally car and bike.

On the particular day in question you decide to take the train home. Now the disadvantage of the train is that it's a little too far to walk home. Now let's assume that on this particular day you haven't left your car at the station. So maybe on your way home, you phone home and your lovely other half picks up the phone. You explain you need help getting home, and your lovely partner says she'll drop everything and pick you up from the station.

So your train arrives and you alight at your station. You go outside and spot your target car, the one with your partner in the driving seat. You don't want to keep her waiting so you move quickly, open the passenger door and climb in. Only then does the realisation hit you, that you have climbed into a complete stranger's car. You make your excuses with profuse apologies and climb out. You then find your wife's car is a couple of cars away. You climb in, you explain hoping for sympathy and you're met with an uncontrollable display of hysterics as your wife isn't sympathetic, she finds the whole thing hilarious.
