  RULES FOR CONVOYS FROM S. S. U. 8

  1. Never rise until starting time and then rush out and ask  "why the hell there aren't sausages and eggs for breakfast".
 2. Be sure and leave pet-cock at bottom of radiator open when filling with water.
 3. If your motor fails to start stand in middle of road and yell for the Tow Rope.  After a rope has jumped out of the supply car and crawled into your hand, tie one end to the limb of a tree.  (b) Climb a stone wall and tie the other end around your neck.  (c) Jump off stone wall.
 4. After you have started your motor, climb into the seat and make yourself a bread and cheese sandwich.  Never put your hand out as a signal that you are ready - it might get frostbitten.
 5. After the convoy is  "en route" make no effort to follow the car in front of you.  You'll never see the country by follouing [sic] the beaten track.
 6. If you must break down, break down in front of a café.  This is by order of the Mechanical Department.
 7. If you are in doubt that the car behind you is folloving [sic] at the proper distance, jam down on all three levers and listen.  A loud crash means  "Yes".
 8. When an irresitable object meets and immovable body, leave your car headforemost and pray the Lord to land in a soft spot.
