Here's a little thingy that's been making the rounds at school. What?
You think we spend all day teaching? Sometimes we find time for
that. Between thingies, and practical joking and snack-eating and
griping. We have our priorities in order.
Forty Questions

Purveyor of unwanted knowledge

3. What are you listening to right now?
Silence. Blessed silence.
4. Last thing that you ate?
Terrible Tater.
5. Can you drive a stick shift?
Oh, yeah...if it's big, like a jeep. Not so much if it's an itty bitty
Ford Escort, because I can't find the gears.

5. When I test-drove a Jeep, I thought it was the most agriculture thing this side of a Harley Davison. All that was missing was the wheat straw hanging out my mouth.
19. Did you have a Barbie collection as well?
38. Hey! Sounds like your driven a Jeep.
Why yes, perhaps I do have too much time on my hands this morning.
Lantern,
You must really be a city-slicker kind of fella, if driving a Jeep was agricultural for you. Around these parts, 'heavy machinery' means a backhoe, or an eighteen-wheeler, or an earth-mover. The Jeep I drove was a Jeep CJ7, which was just a regular everyday automobile with a long wheelbase, not as easy to tip over as the Jeep CJ5. It was sky-blue, with a 3-speed transmission. I could even stop and start on an incline.
I had a Barbie, but I don't think I had the Ken for her to shag, or the Skipper for her to go incestually gay with. The best thing about the Barbie was the clothes. At Christmas, my aunt would give my sister and I each a big box of Barbie clothes. They were handmade, too, not the kind from a plastic-on-cardboard store display. I don't know if she made them herself, or bought them from someone, but that gift ROCKED!
OH SO PRETTY ONE,
You must really be a city-slicker kind of fella, if driving a Jeep was agricultural for you.
No, I grew up in the country. I've driven the 2 door Jeep Wrangler. It was agricultural! It would be a whole lot of fun in the dirt, but on the asphalt it drove like the tractor it is. "Where's my kidney belt", I asked myself.
The clutch on the CJ7 must have been a b*tch.
Lantern,
The clutch did not bother me so much as the emergency brake, which I was continually forgetting to release after trips to the local Brown Derby liquor chain. Did you know that a Jeep CJ7 will drive just fine in reverse while the e-break is on? But if you try to go forward, you look like a teenage girl learning to drive a standard shift. One of my cronies had to tell me "Why don't you just release the emergency brake?" Duh! And that was before we even opened our purchases for the evening.
