I Saw A Funny Thing

About 8 years ago I worked as a cab driver in a small uk town , after a late night drop off in a country Lane , I was bursting for a quick wee , I walked round and open the passenger door to Shield myself from a wind blow back , at this point all was well , and returned to drive and do a couple more local jobs , but knew I was off to France the following morning.
On arrival at the ferry port I was pulled over for a random vehicle check , by customs , I step out the the car , and stood calmly while the officer briefly took a look inside , he all of a sudden called my over and pointed at the foot well of my car , to my total surprise , there was two large hedgehogs nestled down asleep .
Obviously I was not in any trouble for harbouring fugitives , but felt guilty they were now 50 miles from there home land , as it was late autumn , the customs officer asked how long I was going to Europe for , I told him only 4 days , so he got a box and some shredded paper and place the two prickly guy in there and said I could collect them on my return and drop them off at the quite lane I obviously picked them up hitchhikeing lol
