Ok, well, this really is relevant because it actually happened to us last Sunday. My wife didn't lock the car...
So a guy here in Utah county gets a new job as a regional sales rep, and his boss comes for a week to train him in the job. While here, the new employee not only learns the job, but also shows his boss the beauty of Utah -- Timpanogos Cave, Provo river, temple square, and so forth.
As they get out of their car at each destination, the boss keeps saying "shouldn't you lock the car doors? Somebody might steal something!" And the guy says, "no problem, everythings safe". The boss is doubtful but as the week goes on, he is impressed. Nobody is stealing things out of the car -- all is safe.
So Sunday rolls around and the guy takes his boss to Church. As they get out of the car, he tells the boss to be sure to lock his door (this is because he has a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang coupe V8 327 (etc.) - no auto door locks). The boss gives a double take and says "What! We've left the car unlocked all over Utah, and you want to lock it at CHURCH?"
The guy says, "well, yeah, I mean if we don't the car will be filled with zucchini when we get out of Church!"
HiJolly
ps. my BIL lives in Provo and I have literally seen him on Sunday pushing his loaded wheelbarrow down the street -- loaded with zucchini and summer squash, trying to give it away to his neighbors. I just about burst out laughing, but managed to restrain myself...
