    Can I borrow your Landrover?

    That's what a mate asked me. He was pruning a couple of km of grapes. He needed it for a weekend to cart the prunings to where they're going to burn them.
    "Yes." I said, of course.

    Three weeks later, I asked how he was going with the job. "I can see why you like that Landrover so much." he replied.

    A further three weeks later, I called around to his place. "I need to use the Landrover on the weekend."
    "Yes." he said, "You can borrow it."

    I'm sitting here, feeling a little confused. Why did I drop the Landrover back at his place?

    A) Hiding it from Mummsie.
    You can't fit it in your yard.
    C) He keeps it in a shed.
    D) All of the above.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Never lend anything unless your prepared to not get it back . ( Especially tools & money)

    I'd never be so daft as to lend a LandRover

    Send him the rego bill.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    It occurs to me that most of these replies seem to put LRs in a similar category to wives.

    I was going to mention that old saying about chainsaws and wives being the two things you never, ever loan.
