A Short Story (True)

As I was travelling along the Fosse Way one evening I came upon another motorcyclist in distress. His two-stroke machine had come to a halt so I offered to give him some assistance. I asked him to pull out his tool kit which, to my amazement, consisted of one (bent) screwdriver and a single cycle spanner.

The things people do is amazing.

Upon asking him whether that was all he had he replied "I have left my best spanner at home."!!

A chap I know bought a second-hand car. The next morning he said that the engine didn't sound too good so he was going to remove it.

The tool kit again comprised of one screwdriver and a couple of cycle spanners.
