While the driver of the offending car put his head in his hands the other driver came about in a rage, “you ran into the back of my car and smashed the bloody lights”, he exclaimed. “I am sorry” the soccer boss exclaimed “I will pay for it to be fixed, will £100 do it for you”. It was then that the driver realised who it was that bumped into him and there was a bit of a crowd gathering. “Yes, I think so” the driver exclaimed. The soccer boss reached for his wallet and realising that he didn’t have it with him. “Sorry!” said the soccer boss; “I haven’t got any cash on me, will a cheque do?”. “Yes” said the injured party, “I will take it home and frame it”.
The soccer boss smiled on hearing this, realising that the accident had only cost him a few pence, the price of a cheque.
