The premise
Here’s the bit.
After a mechanic brushes past her outside a garage, an elderly woman imagines a spectacular punishment for him. Her curse grows into a rambling fantasy about car-crushing machinery, a rubber ball and traffic chaos, while he remains preoccupied with the vehicle.

Portuguese Curse Lady
One day, very soon, the fine prince will send small messages to the elders of the car mending shop. Get me a jolly machine to clasp this man together like a rubbery ball. What an extraordinary sight I'm seeing from the window, the newspaper says. He has been bouncing for days Bouncing off the buildings And making the traffic cry Know that I see I turn away I don't want to see you no more You're just a ball A ball that's bouncing off the buildings
The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
More from Harry & Paul.
