?Jan­u­ary 18 will al­ways be etched in my mind. I ex­pe­ri­enced one of the most, if not the most, hu­mor­ous mo­ments of my life. Head­ing to Port-of-Spain on the Churchill-Roo­sevelt High­way, ap­proach­ing Or­ange Grove Road, I ob­served two wreck­ers be­long­ing to the same com­pa­ny parked on the shoul­der of the road. On pay­ing clos­er at­ten­tion, I re­alised one wreck­er has been tow­ing the oth­er which had ap­par­ent­ly bro­ken down. What was hi­lar­i­ous was that the wreck­er do­ing the tow­ing had al­so bro­ken down and was wait­ing to be towed away by an­oth­er wreck­er. I said to my­self this had to be Trinidad and burst in­to un­con­trol­lable laugh­ter. An­oth­er mo­torist in traf­fic recog­nised the hu­mour in the sit­u­a­tion and was al­so laugh­ing his head off.
