If you want to smile, keep reading.

Happened a month ago:
Once upon a time a young woman who looked astonisingly much like my sister was driving along the streets of K. A man saw her and -being such a bright middle-aged man- he decided to find out the name of the ravishing young woman and see if she would be willing to make closer acquaintance with him. So, he sent the register number of the young woman's car to the Vehicle Administration AKE (=ajoneuvohallintokeskus) and, behold, he had a name. But he was unaware of a problem awaiting to bloom: the car was registered to the young woman's mother. Soon, the mother received a puzzling -and not so coy- text message from an unknown man. The mother assumed the message was sent to a wrong number by accident but wanted to have some fun and sent the man a reply. After a few messages the situation dawned to the bright middle-aged man. He controlled his fast and prompt thumb from making more of a fool of himself. The mother had a good laugh as did the young woman when she arrived home and pretty much everyone else around at the time, me included. The end.

I come back from Balance and notice I have received a text message that read the following: "Evening. I hope I'm not interrupting anything but did you happen to be at J today at the second phase of the driving examination? Greetings, P.M. (the silver and grey BMW)". You can probably imagine the confusion spreading over my face. And then the situation became relatively clear and I phoned my sister inquiring if she had been to J today. She, in turn, sounded bewildered: how could I possibly know she had been there as she was supposed to take the second phase examination at K? The quotation of the above-mentioned message made her howl with laughter.

That's what you get for having a "ravishing young woman" as your younger sister. =)
