Smartest One In Their Car

This rag-taggle crew climbed out of a Chevrolet car. We can’t read a map, they said, and we are going far. Who is your brightest thinker? I asked. Who could I teach? They all began to holler “That would be our orangutan Peach.” Peach sauntered in and gave me the famous thinker’s pose. I bet you didn’t think it was me, he said. He wore really tight clothes. Can you read the map for them? I asked. Are you going quite far? I will try, he told me. But it might be difficult. I am driving the car.
