Ford Cortina and how do the holes come into shoes....

This is the prologue to Carl Fishers movie "The Panic Mechanic". Teaches you about right pronounciation.



This mini-movie goes around by e-mail and shows up at some humor-pages, like the German autsch.de We found out where it's coming from, and got an email from the mentioned "Carl Fisher", who -by now- is the CEO of a Souith African Television Channel. See at the bottom lines.

They all like Jack.
The neighbour says "Hi Jack!" and there's a friendly "low five" before he drives off.

The lights are red, and he's waiting in his Cortina MK4 , when...

... that "bad guy" shows up and yells :
"HIJACK!"

So what?...
Time for a friendly "low five" right?

A gun ain't no pointer, ...

and someone needs new sneakers.

Questions, anyone?
