Homo Sapiens v The nodding dog

Rebecca 'kindly' drove me to Claire's place.

To be fair it was exceedingly kind of her to do that, but I can't remember defaulting on a 'trick or treat.'

It was an interesting experience somewhat new to me inasmuch as I was the equivalent 'nodding dog,' you know the ones you see the parcel shelf of some canine lover?. So why are they there? Is it to distract you or what? And why a nodding dog? Why not a Rabbie with a nodding head at the Wailing Wall? And what is a parcel shelf? I bet some kids are upset at the 'parcel shelf' at christmastime, or the size of it anyway. You've all seen it in some of the upmarket cars, the Rolls Royce with a packet of Kleenex on the back shelf. And why are they there on the parcelshelf if you want to sneeze? That makes as much sense as having a roll of toilet paper in the garage when you're in the Khazie.

I digress, so back to the Homo Sapien equivalent whilst Rebecca is auditioning for 'Crazy Drivers' I never knew it was possible for the human neckbone to stretch from 90 degrees down to 3 degees. Well it is. And the same applies when the car defies gravity when cornering at high speed, you know, left to right and back again. That's okay but several thousand movements and you start thinking your neck and head have turned into a human egg whisk.
