And one of them actually spoke!
Clear as day! Couldn’t believe my ears!”
“Oh, yes – what did it say?”
“Well, this is the extraordinary thing – it told me to press down on some bit of plastic until I heard a click.
So I did that – and then this horse told me to try the engine – and it started immediately!”
“Ah,” said the barman.
“And tell me, what colour was this horse?”
“Colour? Colour?
Whatever do you mean?
The damn’ thing spoke to me, clear as day! In fact, it was a brown horse!”
“Thought so,” says the barman, polishing the next batch of glasses.
“Thought so?
Didn’t you hear what I was saying?
This horse dam’ well spoke to me!”
“Well”, says the barman, “I thought it would be her.
The white one knows nothing about BMW ignition systems!”
