"Balls on accurate"

My 1st take would be that our boy just pulled it out of his hat. 

Second (and probably true) is that it is from the ancient idea of a witness
at court holding his genitals (this was before Bibles). Hence the word
"testimony". And I believe at the time, women weren't allowed to testify.

But really now, where your jewels are concerned, wouldn't you want to be
MORE accurate than humanly possible?

"Dremel"

Ray's favorite tool.

"Sports car"

We could argue this one till the cows come home, but I think Pat Bailey's
about got it right for me; it's any car that makes you want to go out and
DRIVE. Every once in a while, like this morning, I'll take fifteen miles of
back, twisty roads to get to the store three blocks from my house for two
bags of good coffee.
