Communication Problem
----------------------------------------

About five years ago the battery in my
beat-up VW Beetle had died because I left the lights on
overnight. I was in a hurry to get to work on time so I ran
into the house to get my wife to give me a hand to start the
car. I told her to get into our second car, a prehistoric
oversized gas guzzler, and use it to push my
car fast enough to start it. I pointed out to her that
because the VW had an automatic transmission, it needed to be
pushed at least 30 mph for it to start.

She said fine, hoped into her car and drove off.

I sat there fuming wondering what she could
be doing.

A minute passed by and when I saw her in the
rearview mirror coming at me at about 40 mph, I
realized that I should have been a bit clearer with my
directions.
