A joke

 

A joke purloined from elsewhere and adapted


Bob’s car ran out of petrol and a bee flew in through his window.

‘Have you run out of fuel?’ the bee asked.

Bob agreed that he had.

‘Wait there a minute,’ said the bee, as if Bob had any other choice, and flew off.

Minutes passed before the bee returned, leading a swarm of bees into the petrol tank. A short while later the bees emerged. As they flew past Bob, one of them said, ‘Try it now.’

Bob did so and to his surprise the car started.

 ’Wow,’ said Bob. ‘What did you put in the tank?’

Over his shoulder, the bee called out . . .

BP

    2. Thank you for the clarification. That fits. Barry had a friend with one such car in the early 60s.

    1. My first car was British Racing Green - it wasn't a Jag, though . . .

  6. They're a bit special, especially the earlier ones. Now, not quite so much;-)
