IN THE TAXI
It was midnight when the bellhop of the Hotel Mum called a taxi. Then \ he escorted four slightly intoxicated males from the foyer. ‘•This guy (putting him in the far corner) goes to 123 West Street. This one (putting him in the near corner) goes to 423 Xorth Street. This fellow (putting him in the middle) goes to 759 South Street, and this one (putting him on the jumper seats) goes to the High Brow apartments.” The taxi driver nodded and gave j his bus the'gas. In about five minutes j he was back. “Say: Rearrange these guys, will you? I hit a bump and they got all ! mixed up.”
) Fools rush into traffic and are angels j when they’re dead, we hope. The Christchurch Motor Club has | arranged for free garage privileges to | members. * * * Many cars in the city are without | the necessary red tail light and the in- ! spectors are taking notice.
A motor-car was recently sold for £3 10s. This did not include a hooter, of course; the approach of a car like that would be quite evident without one. * • * The average motorist’s idea of a really dangerous corner is the one round which is the garage where he has eleven more payments to make for the car.
