Passenger Side

Early yesterday morning, my friend and neighbor, Kevin, stopped by my house to drop off my newspaper as he does early every morning.  We chatted a little as we always do.

“I need to take my car into the shop later this morning,” he told me during the course of our conversation.

“What for?” I asked.

“A recall.  They are going to replace the passenger side airbag.”

“Oh…you have some of those killer Takata airbags?”

“Yep.  They replaced the driver’s side last year.”

“That’s good.  Why worry, then?” I joked.  “It’s just the passenger in danger…not you.”

Kevin gazed at me with big eyes.  “God is my copilot!”

“In that case, you need to take the car in.”
