Years ago (when I was single) I stopped to help some young ladies whose car had broken down on the way home from a local lake.

Since the car was broken beyond a roadside repair, I offered to give one or more a lift (no cell phones in those days!) so that they could call someone. Well, with three of them, none wanted to go off with a stranger all by themselves -- and I can't blame them. But if 2 went with me, then one would be left at the side of the road and that wasn't a good choice either. They asked if I would mind taking all three in my 63 ragtop. No problem! One in the passenger seat, one on her lap and one riding the console. Now THAT was a pleasure trip!
