It is definitely a Southern thang and a must.
Went fishing with a long-time friend in Texas. Asked him why weren't taking Blackie (Black Chevy Suburban) to tow the boat down to Matagorda. He looked at me and said "Ain't no air." I said "Well, it still runs fine, right? We can tough it out, we're going to be fishing anyway."
He kinda cocked his head and looked at me. "You don't get it, do you? This is TEXAS and when the air is broke, the whole damned car is broke! It don't go nowhere til it's fixed! We're taking the wife's 'burban."
Still funny to see those two nitwits ebegging about it though and as someone said, how do either of them have any idea that $200 will fix it? It CAN run a couple of grand depending on how badly it's broke -- been der, paid dat.
