  (chuckle) he was probably sliding on the oil his and his mate's cars had left 
behind.  The bastards.

  At least you don't have to worry about it staying there for six months before 
the cops eventually tow it away.

  Better the wankers in front of you than behind you, at least you can see 
where they're going.

flats. :-)

  Stick one of those locking pins in it.  (the bobby pin thingys that prevent

close it.
