My wife told me not to help them, but I couldn't stand the swearing any longer -especially for the sake of the little kids in the camping area.

I hopped in my Defender and soon found them, with their lesser breed 4WD tray top well down in the sand. "Can you blanking well help us get this blank of a blanking blank out of this blanking sand? I told them I would on the conditions (1.) That they stop swearing immediately and (2.) they clear out.

After hooking them up I pulled them out at a rate that only an angry Defender owner could, and I didn't stop. I towed them right out of the dunes with the ute helplessly fishtailing behind me. The ute finished up with a graceful curve like a waterskier, just missing the campground dunny.

I pointed to my defender
"That" I said "Is a proper four wheel drive." "Now blank off!"

You should've got it all on video!

Bit hard at midnight, anyway it was just one of those things you do on the spur of the moment. I was cranky because I had my beauty sleep disturbed.

Afterwards you say to yourself "Did I really do that?" or "Why did I do that?" It really was a bit stupid fronting three drunken louts by myself, but I got away with it.

(but it would have made a great YouTube video)
