Parking

i still suck in parking cars!!! i just parked my cousin's car in our garage and the distance from the bumper of the other car from the bumper of the car im driving is only an inch! no kidding, just an inch, no exaggeration. who parks cars like that? ok, so it saves garage space but still, that was unintentional, an inch more i might have created a dent on both bumpers. im really not good with estimating the distance of the car in front of me. im very used to driving our van, maybe that's why im very bad in driving vehicles with hoods. i also noticed that lately, the engine of the vehicle im driving always dies when im backing up. my brain-foot coordination seems to be poor when im backing up the van( (or the car). i have no idea why i just included the last 2 sentences. anyway, i have to improve my parking skills, i have to keep that in mind the next time i drive my cousin's car...if there will be a next time.

Excerpt from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe:

...I'm quite used to being humiliated,' droned Marvin. 'I can even go and stick my head in a bucket of water if you like. Would you like me to go and stick my head in a bucket of water? I've got one ready. Wait a minute.'
'Er, hey, Marvin. . .' interrupted Zaphod, but it was too late. Sad little clunks and gurgles came up the line.
'Whats he saying?' asked Trillian.
'Nothing,' said Zaphod, 'he just phoned up to wash his head at us.'
'There,' said Marvin, coming back on the line and bubbling a bit. 'I hope that gave you great satisfaction. . .'
'Yeah, yeah,' said Zaphod, 'now will you please tell us where you are?'
'I'm in the car park,' said Marvin.
'The car park?' said Zaphod, 'what are you doing there?'
'Parking cars, what else does one do in a car park?'
