I'm off to the butchery
I'm having this great image of a big fat chicken, with a bit of caramel poured over, some pasta or potatoes and salad on the side.
Yum....
As I go down stairs to get to my car, I realize that I forgot the keys for it.
Damn, Gotta go back (2 minutes later ...)
I'm in my car. Seems to be a problem with the ignition. The stupid thing wont start.
I know nothing about cars. I'm a total idiot when it comes to cars.
Its 5 in the afternoon already and have no flashlight.
What the heck, its only 10 minutes walk to the butchery.
But why walking? I'll call a taxi. Sh..t....where's my cell-phone ? Upstairs. DANG!
(2 more minutes later....)
Now what's the number for the taxi ? xquaciplafigh I've never called for a taxi before, as i always use my car.
Lets call the information
