CARS COME NEATLY PACKAGED

Conversation as we are driving down Broadway:

Brit, looking from afar: "Look at those new cars on that transport. The are all dripping wet. Surely the driver didn't go through the car wash with them."

Me, as we draw closer: "If they are dripping wet, they should be dripping and they aren't. It isn't water."

Brit: "Is too."

Me: "They look to me like they are wrapped in Saran Wrap."

Brit: "Like calves when they are born?"

Me: "Yes. Like when Mackenzie was four and saw a calf being born at 'Mitchell's' (Virgil Huseman's...she called him Mitchell for reasons known only to her) and told us it came wrapped in Saran Wrap. Yes, new cars come the same way."

Brit: "I don't think so. It has to be water."

Me, two miles later: "Don't you think the water would have evaporated by now?

Brit: "Well, you do have a point there."

Me: It looks to me like they have created a job for a Saran Wrap wrapper person at the car factory."

Finally we over-take the transport and draw along beside it.

Brit: "By golly, they are wrapped in Saran Wrap. That's a new one on me."

We don't get out a lot.
