OT - Wealth Does Not Equal Intelligence

Just heard this tale and had to post it as I still can't believe there are people this stupid around!

My Father works for RACV doing roadservice in Ballarat, he got a call today to a Porsche that would not go. Upon arrival, the owner of the late model Porsche asks "where's the tow truck". My father had not idea a tow was required. When he asked what was wrong they said "it won't go". Dad asks "Why the broken windscreen then?" The reply was priceless, "because we tried to tow it ourselves". I automatically assumed when told the story that the tow rope had broken and gone through the window but no it's much better than that.

"How did the borken window happen?" asks Dad. "Well we couldn't get the bonnet (or boot) open to attach the tow rope to the tow hook so we carefully threaded the rope through both open front windows and attached it to the tow vehicle", replies befuddled owner. Now heres the clincher, when the tow was attempted the tow rope stretched both A pillars, smashed the windscreen and did untold damage to the Porsches fine lines.

As RACV road service can't tow insurance jobs my old man said sorry guys we can't help you will have to contact your insurance company. he drove back into town shaking his head the whole way.

I still can't believe anyone would attempt this!
