<p>It is just absurd . Things go wrong back to front.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The wipers fail when they are needed and we need to wait for them not to be needed for them to start working again.</p>

<p>It is a bit like slapstick the humour of the silent movies.</p>

This is already very cool! Thank you! I also wanted to know why the windscreen wipers stopped working and why they suddenly can't be stopped. Why would windscreen wipers stop working due to humidity? This story was written in 1960. Was this a common problem in that time? It's not a very important part of the story but I really would like to understand this side joke.<br />
(Later on they even go to a garage to repair them, I think)
