What would the frog do?

This morning I was going to drop the kids off at school as any normal day. Judge by my suprise when I got in to the car and the DTE (Distance To Empty) showed 0. Zero. Nothin'. I don't have to translate km to miles or anything for you to understand. Because Nothing is Nothing in both km and in miles. So, at this time I was a bit late. My car told me it had to be fueld. And my kids kept nagging amongst themselves. So what to do?
It's like that frog who sat on a small rock. Around the rock swam crokodiles. And the distans to the shore was too long for the frog to jump. Now that frog HAD to get to shore. He was late for a bar mitzvah or something, IT'S NOT IMPORTANT. So he sat there... He couldn't swim. He couldn't jump and he couldn't fly. So what did he do? Yes, he flew. What? Frogs don't fly? Well what the hell was he gonna do?
So what did I do? I drove. WHAT THE HELL WAS I GONNA DO? 2.5 km (1.6 miles) to closest petrol station. I actually made it there. And dropped the kids off. And I made it to work. But of course I was late. But so was everyone else too, so no harm.
The moral of the story is to never let your girlfriend borrow your car without letting her pawn her VISA-card with you.

  1. Det är bara ytterligare ett bevis på att vi kvinnor alltid är lite smartare än övrig befolkning.
