Salesman: "Sir, I deduce that you drive a Maserati. How may JLR assist you at this time?"

Gentleman Driver: "I say! What led you to this conclusion?!?"

Salesman: Sir, you clearly have a markedly larger left leg indicating a notably heavy clutch action, and I observe from your incessant humming that you are tone deaf. The latter being one of the two reasons to buy Maserati's music system."

Gentleman Driver: "Astonishing! May I ask what the other reason is?"

Salesman: "Sir. Other buyers of the Maserati music system are financially replete, but suffer from a shortfall in their critical faculties."

 

Take that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! Outstanding!

P.S. To DJS. While I pride myself on good writing, and have read the entire Sherlockian canon, thanks to our F-Typer F-Typical across the pond, now I don't have to! Gotta love this Forum, ask and ye shall receive.

Wm Shakspe
William Shakspere
Willm Shakspere
By me William Shakspeare

The roar I hear is not my F-Type on open exhaust but ***** Shaksper, Shakspere, Shakspeare, Roger Bacon, oh, whatever, spinning violently in his tomb......

 

Sometimes the jokes just write themselves - William Shakespeare.

 

Happy 453rd birthday to the Bard of Avon!
