Dick Cheney killed my car!

No political rhetoric just a funny circumstance:

Last week I was heading to a local Catfish resturant. Well being what my schedule is (Night Shift) they were closed between lunch and dinner times. So I turned around and headed back to the other side of town where the rest of the resturants are.

Just as I got to the light where a main road turns onto the one I was on and heads for the airport, a police cruiser blocked me in and stopped traffic. VP Dick Cheney was in town campaining. I shut off the engine, and watched the motorcade (Really Nifty, BTW). Anyhoo, I drive with my lights on for safety, and most of my driving being at night over a short commute my battery was aging quickly, and departed this plane at that precise moment. (Leaving my lights on didn't help.)

The Police man gave me a jump, and I headed straight for the battery shop. But that was how Dick Cheney killed my car. I am not sure how, but I know it must be his fault somehow. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
Is it a Lucas battery???

If not, I suspect all the electricity just dripped out when you were looking the other way. Happens with oil, all the time....
