Get in the car!

The current scandal surrounding the New York Knicks basketball team got me thinking (which at the best of times is not advisable).

Ok so they sexually harassed an employee of the company, and eventually she’s taken them to court and is going to sue the proverbial knickerbockers off the team. But there was another little bit of information that emerged during the trial and has seemingly enraged the media and the public.

One Knicks star, Stephon Marbury (seen here) invited an intern to his 4x4 for a little romp. That, however, didn’t raise too many eyebrows, it was the way he asked her that did. Allegedly he asked her: “Are you going to get in the truck?”

Now Dapper Dave had a way with words when it came to women and I don’t recall anyone ever being offended by his trademark “get in the car” statement...and he never framed it as a question as the polite Mr Marbury did.

Needless to say the intern did “get in the truck”, but later was “distraught because she felt she had to”. And then they wonder why women aren’t taken seriously. For gods’s sake woman what did you expect? A cuddle and a bit of pillow talk? You got in the car. You weren’t forced, now suck it up (no pun intended).

As for “get in the car” it doesn’t actually work everywhere in the world, and usually entails a shiner and the cops handcuffing you to Butch McTeabag in the holding pens.
