Curious, he picked it up and heard a faint honk. ‘What’s this?’ he wondered aloud. The mechanic, a gruff but friendly older man, glanced over and smiled, saying, “Oh, that? That’s Mr. Johnson’s secret signal. He uses it when his wife sends him out for coffee.” The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and thought, “Next time I’ll bring my own horn!”
