Entity Julianna Thoennes spoke thus:
> I got stuck in a parking garage last June in Denver. (I was attending a
> conference) I didn't have any damage, because I stopped in time, but it is
> quite the story. There was plenty of room to drive in and park. The
> problem arose when I attempted to leave the lot. I pulled forward to the
> gate, and saw that I might have a problem with a water pipe that ran across
> the roof. I mentioned this to the attendant, and he assured me that if I
> got in, that I could get out. Well he was wrong! I drove cautiously
> forward, and heard a tink, when my roof rack bumped the water pipe. Of
> course! I got out, and assesed my situation, and decided that it would be
> best to remove the rack. At this point, the attendant is yelling at me to
> move my van through! I am trying to tell him that I am stuck, but he spoke
> a differant language, and couldn't understand me. I am in a long dress of

> having difficulty with all the cloth in the dress, so I climbed back down.
> There are about 10 or more cars waiting to get out, and they are irritated

> There is no way to be private at this point, so I just whip off my dress and
> throw on the t-shirt. It was great! LOL Everyone stopped yelling, and
> ran back to their vehicles. I got the rack off in no time without all that
