Imagine: all stewardesses on the plane were happily married, a real torture!

Splendid, come on!

follower #2: Mmm! Behind that thing I don't have to use the fifth gear! |
he:
My trip to Amsterdam starts wonderful. I'm François... François
Martigny. Free/lance reporter. And you?
she: Marjan Texel. I study sociology. |
| Marjan:
I´m working on a thesis about the sexual behaviour of Europese men
in the 2nd half of the 20th century. I just return from Paris where I met
with the famous sexuologist professor Henrotin.
François: Realy? Are you looking for a guinea-pig for practical tests? Marjan: I´ll talk about it with my professor. |
Marjan:
He, what are you doing now?
François: I have to find out something! |
| François:
For some time a black Volvo is following us. Is it still behind us?
Marjan: Yes! |
Marjan:
Then they are after us. You are no maffia member I hope?
François: Ehh.... no, sure not! François: Then they are after me, when I was the last time around here I did not pay some paring fines. And the Dutch Police are very spiteful...that is generally known. Marjan: Why do you believe it´s the Police? |
| François:
I´ve got a nose for that, my dear! 10 Years of experience. And with
this cycle car we don´t get rid of them... so we have to improvise...
HOLD
FAST!
Marjan: What are you.... ? ... |
| Marjan: Aaaaahh | TCHIIIII
BOOOINK
follower #1: DAMNED ! follower #2: !! follower #1: The boss was right:a very clever boy! |
| François:
So princess! You´re home! All right again?
Marjan: Well, I could use a strong coffee. You want one too?. |
François:
You don´t know how sorry I am to have to say no just when a pretty
girl ask me, but I have a meeting that I cannot cancel. Maybe tonight?
Then we´ll talk about your thesis!
Marjan: OK! Tonight it is, but then we´ll walk! |
| Comments:
1. When they arrive at the car, the roof is already open! This is very unlikely when you´ve been away for some days by airplane! 2. It is almost impossible to get enough kinetic energy for the 2CV to fly that high into the air using the bridge as a ramp, especially direct after a sharp bench in the road, more likely the car would have crashed to the half upright bridgedeck! 3. When crashing down from that jump the 2CV would have been destroyed almost completely an the persons inside would have needed medical attention or worse.... 4. Who cares about point 1 to 3? It´s just a nice drawn comic! |
