[Spridgets] Top Gear Spridget

[GUY DAY]

In my younger (harder working) days I gave a chap a lift to work in the 
Sprite as he claimed he didn't have a car he could use.  He was around 6' 3" 
and 375 - 400lb (big guy).  It became a pain going half an hour a day out of 
my way to pick him up and drop him off, waiting for him 'cause he hadn't 
finished his work on time and only a verbal thank you every other month etc. 
So, as I soured, I would stop next to the highest kerb (sidewalk) edge I 
could find to drop him off.  Had to make sure the bottom of the door 
wouldn't scrape on the ground though.  I found it more and more amusing as I 
found higher kerbs and watched his attempts to get in and out of the Sprite. 
I soon realised that getting in was little problem for him - gravity helped 
there - but getting out.  LOL !
It all stopped when found out that he did have a car he could have used - he 
was just too mean to pay for his own fuel.
