a Dixie cup ?
i didn't realize how southern you were , Rob.
I was thinking more in terms of the
General as seen in the Dukes of H. Not Ford, there, but who the hell here in Spain knows that or cares? But a cup on the roof? Isn't that a CSI Miami stunt, along with standing sideways, taking off and then putting back on the sunglasses? The latter trick is difficult for me now because the legs of my very old Polaroids have sprung outwards; sometimes, when I put them on, one leg misses my ear completely and they pivot down the side of my face (the legs).... guess it would be worse if the legs were pointing inwards, though.
I did buy a pair of Aviators in Gibraltar once, and had to take them back before we sailed away; they kept making me think I was about to take a step upwards, when in fact the pavement was perfectly flat. The other RayBans I took in exchange turned out to be just as bad, really, but when the thieves broke open the doors on that Escort some years ago, the only thing they stole was those replacements that I kept forever sealed in their wallet in the glove-box; I suppose that was poetic justice: one of those mothers who savaged the car will almost certainly, by now, have broken his ankle wearing them. That was a lousy deal: the insurance paid the price of two doors in exchange for a pair of sun glasses.
Bought a Dixie towel in Florida, once - does that count somehow? Apart from the flag on the roof, I'm figuring how to install twin aerials on the back; there's very little room on the trunk wings - probably have to drill down through the spoiler and then the whole thing might fall off. The stress, the stress...
Blame it all on klrzfm.com. 'Monnette Monette, coquette coquette, c'est si bonne' is just being sung as I type... love that Cajun style!
