Well Ward you've been victimized by the Russians.
You've some how gotten one of their Vans that has been modified for
smuggling Chernobyl Heavey Water out of Russia.
Be careful of the funny colored anti freeze.
Have you noticed your testicles getting larger or turning purple?
Those Russians are very clever, instead of using barrels they chose the
VW and installed water cooled engines of their very on design.
The original plan was to sell over a million of these vans, each
containing about six gallons of the heavy water.
They fell far short of their goal but the clever way that the Van just
drips the heavy water coolant a little at a time has contaminated almost
the entire US , South America and most of Europe.
If they had just used the six gallon barrels we may have saved the earth
but catching every little drip at every red light on three continents is
impossible.
This was truly worthy of a James Bond thriller, they've truly bested us
on this one.
If you know the where about of one of these lethal smuggling machines,
keep Your Distance and notify the American Association Of Automobile Re
cycler immediately. They will crush out the vehicle and ship it to the
Chinese as scrap iron and start our revenge cycle so they too can enjoy
the benefits of Communism.
