Funny Story Except It Is True

I am standing around the house 
I hear a loud boom with floor vibrations
I ask if everyone is ok because 
I thought someone fell flat on their settee
Everyone says we're ok what was that??
After much investigation
We found that my tire had exploded into shreds

I am considering suing the company
Never used spare tire, only fourteen years old
Should not have exploded like that!!

James Fraser Date: 7/8/2011 6:40:00 AM An exploding tyre can be very dangerous Doris. I dare say it has perished over the years. Many thanks for your kind words. < I am fine, how are you and yours? > Have a lovely weekend :) Login to Reply
