Life's Like that - Readers Digest Feb 2008

Reproducing a publication that I liked from Readers Igest February 2008 issue. It seems to be real life experience of a gentleman named RON BIRD.

One dark, rainy night, as I hitchhiked down a country lane, I was delighted when a car drew level and stopped. Without hesitating, I jumped in.

As the vehicle moved clowly off, I realized there was no no one behind the wheel. What's more, the engine wasn't running. Terrfified, I remained rooted to the seat until the lights of a pub came into view. I dived out and ran.

Once inside the pub, I was regaling my fellow customers with the spooky experience until, minutes later, two men came in, out of breath and wet. Looking round, one of them saw me, nudged his friend and said, "Look Tom,. There's that idiot who got into the car while we were pushing it."
