There are witches and there are witches. My wife sealed her reputation one day whilst at work. Before retirement she was a paramedic, and on this particular day she was driving the ambulance under emergency conditions, high speed, blue lights flashing and sirens wailing. The driver, make that boy racer, of a super fast Audi car, overtook the ambulance in what my wife described as, a most dangerous manoeuvre, causing the driver of the oncoming car to make a lightning reaction to avoid a head on collision, then the Audi was gone.
Unabashed, my wife simply gave vent by saying: "A hex on you." Half a mile later the ambulance passed the now stricken Audi, both it's offside front and rear wheels, punctured. My wife just glanced across to her partner and smiled a smug smile. Later, back at the ambulance station, my wife's partner was all hyped up. "Never," he stressed, "never, ever cross her," my wife just smiled.
Her optician wasn't sure of her either. He had spent a good five minutes trying to sell her an extra pair of night vision specs. She didn't want to know, the optician finally got the hint when she said: "Don't you know, witches see better in the dark?"
