Parking on the Beirut Corniche

Fed up with not being able to find a good parking spot on the Corniche – again – this lady tried to solve the problem creatively. I can just visualize this conversation.
Hello?”
“Aah, honey.”
“Hi love, what’s up?”
“Well, I am calling to tell you that uh… uhh.”
“That uhh what?”
Well, you know, uhh, something happened to the car
.”
"What do you mean; Something happened to the car?!?"
"Uh, well, something happened to the car."

The physician must reserve for himself the right to penetrate, by a process of deduction, from the effect on consciousness to the unconscious psychic process; he learns in this way that the effect on consciousness is only a remote psychic product of the unconscious process and that the latter has not become conscious as such; that it has been in existence and operative http://startso11.info/przer%C3%B3bki+smreka.html without betraying itself in any way to consciousness..
