πŸ’Ž On knowing your place (Do you know who I am?)

It’s an American agency called Wundermann.

Apparently, one day the owner flew in to visit his agency.

He was a big, brash New Yorker.

He drove straight into the car park below the building.

The gruff cockney parking attendant stopped him.

He said, β€˜Where you going, guv?’

The American was indignant.

He said, β€˜I’m parking, of course.’

The parking attendant said, β€˜You gotta permit?’

The American said, β€˜No.’

The parking attendant said, β€˜Then you ain’t parking here.’

The American was outraged.

He said, β€˜Do you know who I am?’

The parking attendant shook his head and said, β€˜No.’

The American got out of the car, raised himself up to his full height, tapped his chest and said, ‘I’m Wundermann.’

The parking attendant said, β€˜I don’t care if you’re fucking Superman. You ain’t parking here’
