How about...What other pointless things can you use your car for?
How about putting a pineapple on the exhaust pipe and reversing it into a o wall to core it?
I thought that was called a Pineapple surprise, the surprise being the taste of petrol and oil!How about putting a pineapple on the exhaust pipe and reversing it into a o wall to core it?
How about...
- A 3 mile commute?
- Buying one bag of shopping from a supermarket a 5 minute walk away?
- Doing what one of my neighbours used to do - a 1,000 metre round trip to the newsagent to pick up his evening paper. Bonus pointlessness - he only lived 250 metres from the shop so the drive was twice as far as the walk, and actually took longer once turns and parking were taken into account!
To be fair that's a good model to carry around in life with you. But aside from being judgemental my nan who was on her 90s had a hip replacement and could walk to the shops and back. Which wasnt an insignificant trip. 500 metres isnt far at all.I used to think similar things about a neighbour who took her kids by car to the school 250m away, driving twice the distance as walking.
When she had a replacement hip in her 40's I revised my view and regretted my judgemental attitude.
I knew the neighbour in question - he had nothing wrong with his legs! He was still able to quickly hop in and out of his car 30 years later... He was just lazy.I used to think similar things about a neighbour who took her kids by car to the school 250m away, driving twice the distance as walking.

But they wouldn’t want to core a pineapple, they would more interested in driving over cloves of garlic to de-skin themWouldn't work for Citroen 2CV drivers.
