One of the other noodleheads over on BC told me a pretty funny anecdote about her experience with car alarms. I gotta be honest too, I thought she was like a vengeful god with hair made out of snakes, even some of the other people I spoke to were like "Yeah, she's weird..She even gets to oversee the entire site". I was trying to get naked photos of her, but I kinda gave myself away a little too quickly and she told me to buzz off.
Anyway, here's her little story:
Envision a very small ferry transporting cars & people to a very small island. Envision the locals standing on the deck & sitting in the passenger lounges with their car doors unlocked. Next envision the tourists who lock their cars & set their alarms. The ferry bounces on the waves & the cars move slightly back & forth. The people walking by when this happens reach out to steady themselves on the cars & the alarm goes off. The idiots who set the alarm are at the far end of the boat while it screeches away & they have to be located to turn the damn things off. So here's the question. Why lock the car & set the alarm? Who the frack can drive a car off a ferry over the ramp and across the ocean to the other side? Even if you leave your keys in the ignition as locals do no one can steal the car while it's on the ferry ... DUH. You have just described at ship at sea with lights blinking & alarms screeching that has become a navigational hazard. :P
That's a really good question. The answer is quite simple though: They don't do it so no one will steal it. They just do it because it's a status symbol. Over here in the states, our penis envy is SUV's. Seriously, everyone swears up and down to own at least one SUV. The people with really big penises drive Hummers, and no they don't dont give what the name implies, it's just a fancy freudian concept so that people will buy them. Anyways, thanks for writing :)
