Monday Mundane Humour?

In reading through comments left on my blog,  I came across Jackie’s remark about how in London, large SUV’s are referred to as “Chelsea Tractors”.  As I giggled to myself,  I suddenly remembered a forgotten photo I took that very day!  (and, I thought to myself, “HOW did I forget that one?  I had thought it so FUNNY!”

Well, just for Jackie, (note that I even spelled the word “humor” with the British “U”? hehehe)

How about a “Bristol Tractor”?

Ayup, this was sitting in a parking space at the little convenience store up the road when I went there to pick up the pizza on Saturday! Although our pickup truck isn’t one of the really “large” ones,  when I parked next to this,  the truck looked dwarfed!  I must tell you, this thing did instill a bit of fear….were we going to get that much snow?

As big and “masculine” as this over-sized vehicle seems, look closely and you can see an orange electrical cord running to it…..hmmm…so the “big boy” ran outta juice eh?
