Set Up Like A Deck Of Cards

How my mind works

My new favourite mechanic called me today, to tell me that he’d finished the last bit of work he’s doing on my engine, and that the car was ready to pick up. I told him that I’d get the bus and that I’d be there in about 45 minutes. He told me that he had another job to get to, but that he’d wait for me before he headed out (see, I told you he was awesome).

On the bus journey, there’s a tight corner before a bridge, where the road goes over the railway tracks. I was sitting on the top deck of the bus and, for absolutely no reason at all, I told myself that if the bus fell off the road onto the railway tracks, I should remember to call the mechanic to tell him that I wasn’t going to be there for a while and that he should head off to the other job straight away.

Why aren’t I locked up?
