The Man I’ve Been Waiting For!

The Man I’ve Been Waiting For!

Colonel Blimp is a short-tempered man. He pays good money to his motoring organization and he expects instant service. He broke down on a lonely road recently and was ready to explode when he had to wait for two hours before help arrived. Even before the driver got out of his car, the Colonel was muttering, “What ever took you so long? What on earth do we pay good money for? I don't break down often, but whenever I do, I expect real service.” The driver leaned out of the window. “Have you run out of petrol?” “Can't start the engine!” the Colonel said sharply. “Let's have a look at it,' the man said. “Have you tried to start it?” The Colonel, now red in the face, didn't reply. “Well, have you?” the man asked. “Oh, I see, you've flooded the engine. Got a cloth?” “Haven't you even brought a cloth?” the Colonel yelled. The man smiled. “Oh, this isn't my job, you know. I'm just a passing motorist. I stopped because you looked as if you needed help.”
