Three men and a mango tree

· 240 words · 2 minute read

Khun Boramet, Khun Saksooriyar and Khun Virort were good friends and they settled down for their usual night of drinking under a mango tree in Khun Boramet’s compound. Also as usual, they were eventually very drunk and Khun Boramet stretched out to sleep on a bench under the tree.

Khun Virort then explained that, being totally pissed, it would be a really good time for him to learn how to drive. Khun Saksooriyar, also being totally pissed, agreed that it was great plan and, with some difficulty, installed Khun Virort behind the wheel of his truck. There then followed a brief period of driving instruction during which Khun Saksooriyar slurred some general advice on the rules of the road while Khun Virort concentrated on staying awake and not vomiting.

Driving lesson over, the engine was started and Khun Virort planted his foot firmly on the brake. Except it was actually the accelerator, and he found himself whizzing across the compound and into the mango tree, squashing the unfortunate, was sleeping but now dead, Khun Boramet on the way.

I bet they got the idea from Top Gear.

What a shame the participants weren’t Khuns Clarkson, May & Hammond. (I think I mean Khuns) With Clarkson having the lead role and the other two pratts being locked up “sine die” for doing the world a great favour. Can dreams come true? I live in hope.
