Nothing like a Ford Truck.
I bought a new Ford F250 Tri-Flex Fuel Truck. Go figure – it runs on either hydrogen, gasoline, or E85. However, I had to return to the dealer yesterday … because I couldn’t get the radio to work.
The service technician explained that the radio was voice-activated.
‘Nelson,’ the technician said to the radio.
The radio replied, ‘Ricky or Willie?’
‘Willie!’ he continued and ‘On The Road Again’ came from the speakers.
Then he said, ‘Ray Charles!’, and in an instant ‘Georgia On My Mind’ replaced Willie Nelson.
I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I’d say, ‘Beethoven’, I’d get beautiful classical music, and if I said, ‘Beatles,’ I’d get one of their awesome songs.
Yesterday, some guy ran a red light and nearly creamed my new truck, but I swerved in time to avoid him.
I yelled, ‘Asshole!’
Immediately the radio responded with, ” Ladies and gentlemen …. the Mayor of Toronto. ”
“ Damn, I love this truck.“

Love that one! I recently watched a clip of Jon Stewart skewering that guy. So funny. And who says truth isn’t stranger than fiction? That mayor proves it to be so. 🙂

He’s Toronto’s version of Marion Barry. I’d suggest they are related, but…hmm. Probably not.
