Mr Muffin’s New Car

Mr Muffin has been looking for a ‘new’ car for months, but each one he sees has something wrong. Upholstery, colour, mileage, dings. All sound like girlie reasons not to close the deal.

Last week he found The One. It’s white. It’s an automatic. It puts him in the ‘old man’ league. I asked him what the clincher was.

With a big grin, he declares that it has this amazing new technology, kind of like a passenger mute function. I look to see what he’s going on about, and there it is, neatly nestled below the volume control: Airbag Off.
