In need of a kick?

This is a kick, yes the Swedish name is "spark" and the belt is needed to hold it into pieces, it has seen better days..

I got a kick today, in the telephone this afternoon there was an offer for a new job and it´s a nice kick! But it wasn´t easy. I had to do three interiews with people from the company and then they sent me to a psychology firm to do a proper exam.. but I do know how to seduce people..

Peter Carlsson is a funny guy from Dalarna that sings and tell jokes. I once heard him on TV when he told this story about a kick, like the one in the picture.

He was moving to another place and where shipping stuff in his old Volvo PV. To bring his kick he put it on the roofracks and tied it there. But he was also in a hurry because he was soon going for a trip to Africa with his old Volvo so he forgot the kick on the roof and started the trip heading down from Borlänge driving all night through France and come to the Spanish border at dawn. The custom officials got out and lay their hands on the guns like if they where going to fire if he tried anything. Whats that they asked and pointed at the roof.

O he said It´s a kick. :-)

And the custom officers considered that it wasn´t such a bad idea to bring your kick with you in case you needed one.

The kick he later gave to a beduin in Sahara that liked to sit on it watching the sunset. And think in the future when some archaeologists dig it up they will have difficult explaining why there is a kick in Sahara.

Mayby this story is more funny in Swedish "dalmål" but I have decided to stay on this language that I hardly can spell until I switch to German or Finnish :-)
