----------
NEWBIE FRED: Its rush hour, and I have to get to a hospital ASAP. Its an emergency. What kind of car should I drive?
CONNOISSEUR REGINALD: Porsche Carrera or Ferrari Testarosa.
PRACTICAL SAM: Porsche or Ferrari? My Toyota Tercel would do just fine.
ORDINARY JOE: I agree w/Sam. When my wifes water broke unexpectedly in commuter traffic, her carpooler got her to the ER in his Yugo ... with time to spare!
CAPTAIN AMERICA: Cmon guys -- why not Ford or Chevy?! Sure, there are some good foreign cars, but theyre overpriced and hard to maintain. The majority are POS. Buy American!
CALLOUS SCROOGE: Depends on the emergency. Sure, its nicer for your wife to deliver in a hospital, but in a pinch, she could squeeze junior out on the side of the 405 fwy. But what if you were bleeding to death?
CONTRARY CHRIS: Joe, thats pretty weird. When I drove my sick goldfish to the vet in my Yugo, it overheated 2 blocks from home! But the same thing happened w/my Chevy Blazer when I had to take my ferret, so buying American isnt a sure bet, either. Both died, BTW.
SARGEANT SLAUGHTER: I was thinking the same thing, Scrooge! Id take a tank. Were talking rush hour, guys. Whether a Pinto or a Rolls, if it cant go OVER traffic, youre gridlocked!
MILITIA MARY: This is precisely why I dont drive during rush hour. Why do sheeple put themselves into a situation, day after day, that they cant get out of? Thats why I drive my pick-up only during off-hours; and even then, I keep a motorcycle or two in the bed, just in case...
LOTTERY HOPEFUL: Well, hell, if you can get a tank, why not get a helicopter?
TEEN SEAL WANNA-BE: Helicopter? Thats like saying car. Id go w/an Apache Assault chopper, armed w/Sidewinders in case a commercial airliner gets too close.
HOPALONG CASSIDY: Apache? Are we in Kosovo? Who cares what kind -- Id flag down a news chopper; pilot will know how to get to the closest hospital.
NITPICKY NED: ...But in case the pilot crashes and survives, but is trapped by his safety harness, does he have a Spyderco Rescue to cut himself free?
NEWBIE FRED: Thanks for the tips! You guys are great!!!
Happy holidays!
