Every morning we (my husband and I) walk to the wet market as part of our morning exercise cum marketing. Once we reached the market place, I will busy myself with browsing thru all the stalls and pick up the day’s supplies of greens and meat. For my better half, he will get a copy of the newspapers to keep himself entertained until I finish my marketing.

This morning was no exception. After I was done, I went to look for him at the waiting place. Today’s Formula One’s race is at Suzuka and of course, he being an ardent F1 fan, Formula 1 news is the first thing he reads. The minute he saw me, he said

“Hey, yesterday Tokyo was hit by Typhoon Ma-On and all F1 action was cancelled but you know what? Michael Schumacher was caught practising in the wrong lane yesterday!”

My immediate response was

“What!? Wrong lane? Are you serious? What’s wrong with Michael Schumacher lately! Hit by a stint of bad luck in the last 3 races, drove like a clown in Shanghai and now practised in the wrong lane! What’s gone into the invincible champion of Formula 1 “

He then showed me the papers with picture of Michael Schumacher practising………bowling. Ooops! I was conned! Sure, that was a different type of lane. Couldn’t help but burst out laughing. How cheeky! Would have squeezed his neck if we weren’t in public place. Anyway, that was good additional jaw exercises besides the morning walk.
