L33-2:A day toremember
Things can gowrong on a big scale, as a number of people recently discovered in Parramatta,a suburb of Sydney. During the rush hour one evening two cars collided and bothdrivers began to argue. The woman immediately behind the two cars happened tobe a learner.
She suddenly gotinto a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her brakehard. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrownforward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road. Seeinga cake flying through the air, a lorry driver who was drawing up alongside thecar, pulled up all of a sudden. The lorry was loaded with empty beer bottlesand hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road. Thisled to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. Ittook the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In themeantime, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only twostray dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily devoured whatwas left of the cake. It was just one of those days!
