reminds me of a time when i was trapped in a game show with two other guys
the question was for $10,000.00
If you were stranded in a desert what would you find most useful
first guys says he would want water so he could sip it and avoid dehydration
second guy says he wants to have a large hat so he can keep the sun off...
i says i would want a door from my vanagon ...
the moderator and contestants look at me incredulously
the moderator say s... what in the world do you want a vanagon door for ...
well thats easy ... says i ... when it gets hot i simply roll down the
window and let the col breeze cool me off
i won
yours
