Banking on a Slip…

Eileen's Mercury Marquee was full of surprises, especially when it came to its quirky features. One winter day she pulled up to the bank's drive-up teller, and encountered a challenge.

As per the usual her power windows would not work. Determined to complete her task, she decided to open the car door to put her slip in the tube. However, as she opened the door, and stepped out of the car, her feet slipped on the icy ground, causing her to slide under the car! She was flat on her back under car, like a mechanic!

Inside the bank, the teller, who had missed the scene unfold, recognized moms empty car, with the door open, and called out over the intercom, "Mrs. Thomson, Mrs. Thomson, are you there?"

With a laugh, Eileen managed to pull herself out from under the car, brushing off the snow and ice. She waved to the amused teller and continued with her transaction! Her ability to turn even the most mundane moments into memorable adventures made her a legend in her family's eyes.
