Some Random Events

When I was in high school myself and some other guys got a job parking cars at a local synagogue in my old neighborhood in Brooklyn NY. One Saturday night on a very very very cold day we began valet parking the cars and then at the end of the event we would run down the street jump into the parked cars and return them to their frozen waiting owners at the main door of the synagogue. So this elderly couple hands me a car ticket I run down the street and start the car and turn on the radio and turn the heater all the way up, thinking that these additional touches will enlarge my tip. BUT, here comes the funny part, as I drove back to the synagogue in the nearly frozen car I hit a pothole, and the car went in and came out with a bang and the impact shattered the frozen back window. Not knowing what to do I drove the car to the waiting elderly couple, who much to my surprise got in their car and drove off, and I never saw them again. To this day I have often wondered what they thought as they drove in their nearly freezing car with the back window shattered and all in pieces on their back seat. Where they so drunk so out of it in general that they never noticed? Did they ever notice or did they just drive around with the car that way till it rained or snowed into it?

Another time my friends and I were out for the night and we needed to park my car, but could not find a space. But, we saw a VW bug taking up what looked like two parking spaces so we got the bright idea we would push the VW into one space and then my car would fit into the newly enlarged second space. So, we jumped out of the car and two or three of us put our backsides onto the back of the VW and then our feet onto the bumper of a parked car next to the rear of the VW. We then began pushing on the VW expecting it to move along the curb. Much to our surprise the VW didn't move, what did happen is the sheet metal of the VW collapsed and pushed in leaving a large dent in the rear of the VW. So, we lifted up the VW and turned it around so that it was parked the wrong way in the spot and hoped that the owner would not be interested in looking at the rear of his or her car while trying to figure out how it got parked the wrong way from the direction he or she had left it.
