Oh God, He's pumping a Porshe

Sequence of events:

  1. Small child outside stables in car park carrying a bicycle pump.
  2. Small child sees Porsche parked in car-park.
  3. Child decides that Porsche is looking a little flat (it's pretty low-to-the-road), and decides that it would be kind to give it a little air.
  4. Child inserts pump through rear grill and starts, well, pumping.
  5. Mother of small child turns round and exclaims "Oh God, he's pumping a Porsche".
  6. Small child is removed from vicinity of Porsche.
  7. Tom appears wheeling a barrow full of horse-shit.
  8. Mother: "Oh god, it's not your Porsche is it?"
  9. Tom. "No. I wish". <-- how witty.
Do I look like I own a Porsche? Would that be a compliment or not? Ideas on a postcard (or in the comments box).

it is by no means a compliment!

you would be one of those low ranking males we were talking about the other day.

i am shocked and appalled...on your behalf.

I believe I wrote this before we had said conversation. I now understand that infact not even a car is required to be alpha male. Simply the knowledge that if driving was required, one would be able to is necessary. But one does not need to, as one has other porsche driving lackies to do the driving for one. Fantastic.

I now realise that you are appauled on my behalf. Thankyou! You are wonderous.
