saw this recently...

A few years ago the battery in my beat-up VW
 Beetle had died because I left the lights on
 overnight. I was in a hurry to get to work on time
 so I ran into the house to get my wife to give me
 a hand to start the car.  I told her to get into our
 second car, a prehistoric oversized gas guzzler,
 and use it to push my car fast enough to start it.
 I pointed out to her that because the VW had an
 automatic transmission, it needed to be pushed
 at least 30mph for it to start.
 
 She said "fine!" hopped into her car and drove off.
 
 I sat there fuming wondering what she could be
 doing.
 
 A minute passed by and when I saw her in the
 rear-view mirror coming at me at about 40 mph,
 I suddenly realized that I should have been a bit
 clearer with my directions...
