Did they check a nearby brothel? ‘Burning rubber’, get it?
Golden-Alpine said :
Uh no. What you saying?
Probably some lads getting in some burnout practice for Summernats
Reminds me of the joke about the old guy who goes to a brothel
The lady says,
Hi old timer. Things may have changed in the last 40 years and you have to wear a rubber now.
He pulls out some cotton wool and puts it in his ears and up his nose
She says
What’s that for?
He replies.
Love, there are two things I hate in this world.
1. the sound of woman screaming and 2. the smell of burning rubber.
