Whatcha Doin' this Labor Day Lord Jim?
Re: Whatcha Doin' this Labor Day Lord Jim?
No problem, you can take it back, though -- we know your subconscious really wants to display that Liz Warren (aka the Senior Senator from Massachusetts) for President bumper sticker!

Re: Whatcha Doin' this Labor Day Lord Jim?
I always liked that National Lampoon parody of this commercial that ended "if Teddy was driving one of these Mary Jo might be alive today"...
Sometimes it seems as though one has to cross the line just to figger out where it is

My bad:
National Lampoon began publishing in the '70's; this was an early offering. It's still a beauty.
If Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he'd be President today
NATIONAL LAMPOON
It floats.
The way our body is built, we'd be surprised if it didn't. The sheet of flat steel that goes underneath every Volkswagen keeps out water, as well as dirt and salt and other nasty things that can eat away at the underside of a car. So it's watertight at the bottom. And everybody knows it's easier to shut the door on a Volkswagen after you've rolled down the window a little.
That proves it's practically airtight on top. If it was a boat, we could call it the Water Bug. But it's not a boat, it's a car.
And, like Mary Jo Kopechne, it's only 99 and 44/100 percent pure. So it won't stay afloat forever. Just long enough. Poor Teddy. If he'd been smart enough to buy a Volkswagen, he never would have gotten into hot water.
When a law suit was threatened by VW, National Lampoon ran the following retraction:
"Even if Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen he wouldn't be president today."
Actual add can be seen here
