Test Drive

The automatic floor scrubber at work wasn't scrubbing very well today.

So not only did the vendor send someone to look at it, it was apparently the owner himself who came in person - in his Mercedes-Benz SL600 convertible. An old fat guy in a grey pin-striped suit emerged from it, with an Italian accent and a slightly unsavory, sleazy demeanor.

He was met by one of the girls at my workplace, who was in charge of operations in the mushroom farm. As they looked at the scrubber, the vendor owner inquired about her sister, who also works in the office with me.

"How is your sister? If she like, she sit with me in my Benz, and I take for test drive, yes?"

"The car or my sister?"
