<innocent little boy, looking up to my HDJ-80, in a mixture of awe 
and fear, holding his mum's hand tightly>

'Now that is a nice jeepie he?'

<me grinding my teeth>

<mum pointing at bullbar>

'What is that then?'

'That is the bumper!'

<walking around>

<mum pointing at the exhaust>

'And what is *that* then?.....ooooouwie, deep black hole!'

'That is the exhaust!'

<WHAM goes the free hand of said little boy, in my eyes not so 
innocent anymore, and out comes a lovely pitch-black hand>

<mum upset>

<me smiling, gladly pointing to the sink, with a box of garage soap>

<me also telling that it could have been much much worse, with his
hand stuck in that exhaust (me also resisting attemp of making up 
such a story from the past, with boy stuck for hours, and 
firefighters cutting hand free with heavy equipment)>

<mum still grumpy at little son>

Motto: never call a Land Cruiser a jeep....:))))
