Nut Crackers #1: F1 Road Closure


No, this is not an attempt to sell any kitchen appliances or torture instruments - not much of a difference between the two though. Just an honest attempt to write in around 100 words about something that cracked us up. Very tough!

*******

As I was sleepily guiding the black behemoth yesterday morning towards the daughter’s school, there was this radio news item that caught our attention. “Singapore would experience low road closures this year during the F1 race!”

That set the tone for the next 300 seconds (that is the time that it takes for me to drive about 600 metres to the school!).

D somehow heard it as ‘Singapore would experience NO road closures this year during the F1 race!” (Happens if you hear it in the vernacular and you are sufficiently sleep-deprived) and her next comment really cracked it:

“So these drivers have to worry less about the speeds and bends but more about the traffic lights!”
