Norman: Dad, I need to go to the mall. Can I take your car? Ralph: The mall is only two blocks away. I suggest you walk. If you walk, you'll burn calories and feel good! And he won't reprogram all of my radio buttons!
This brings to mind a very odd incident that happened to me. One chilly morning, I go out to my car, start it up, and begin driving to work. But when I turn the radio on, none of the programmed buttons work! I have to tune every station in manually. It turns out that my battery was so low, it couldn’t hold the programs(it wasn’t one of those old “pull-the-button-out-and-push-it-back-in” types). What I still haven’t been able to figure out is, why did the car start?
