On most paved roads, the shoulders are the parts that are outside of the traffic lanes...usually on the far right of the roads. "Pull your car onto..." is a common phrase to describe getting your (disabled) car to some place..."pull" here doesn't have to literally mean your actually pulling it...it can be moved on its own power or pushed or pulled...
One of a kind hardware suggests unique hardware (that is hand-built or not mass-produced) so you won't be able to replace it if damaged or lost. |

Hi, Diverhank
Many thanks for your reply.
I'm also having a problem with understanding the following joke (I hope it is not something obscene)
| Quote: |
Children were called upon in a classroom to make sentences with words chosen by the teacher. The teacher smiled when Jack raised his hand to participate. She gave him the words 'defeat,' 'deduct,' 'defense,' and 'detail.' Jack stood seriously for a while with all eyes focused on him awaiting his reply:
''Defeat of deduct went over defense before detail!''

Namely I dont understand the punchline (in red), so could you please, clarify |
