Strange Conversations: Part One Hundred and Fifty-Three

Posted 16 June 2009 in by Catriona

NICK: Look at the picture!
ME: I don’t think that’s street legal.
NICK: It can do the Kessel run in about 2000 parsecs.
ME: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you think up and reject an original joke?
NICK: Hmm. The joke part was the 2000 parsecs.
ME: Remember what we said about how if you have to explain a joke, it’s not technically a joke? Because it’s not funny any more?
NICK: Some subscribe to that theory, yes.
ME: Not you?
NICK: In the context of this conversation? No.

But do you think it’s street legal? I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to see out of the back window! And people would keep breaking stuff off it, I think.

If the dome was on the bonnet it probably wouldn’t be street legal. I dont think rear view is actually a requirement (think of vans for example, no rear vision).

The joke meets requirements! It modified the original to question the car’s abilities in the “speed” area.
