Fellow fiends:
I met a young boy in my neighborhood this past Saturday; he was selling
newspaper subscriptions and I was taking Old Whitesides out on some errands.
Our conversation went something like:
He asked "What kind of car is that?"
I said, "Its an MG."
He asked, "No, I mean, what do you call it?"
I said, "Its called an MG."
He asked, "Well, who makes it?"
I said, "Uh, its and MG, MG made it."
"He asked, "No, I mean, does Ford make it or someone else?"
I said, "No, Ford didn't make it. MG made it. MG was a British company.
This is a British car. Its about thirty years old."
"Oh," he said. Then he tried to sell me a newspaper.
