There is actually a good reason why I titled this blog cars. I watched the animated movie, "Cars" this morning. Larry the Cable Guy played the voice for the wrecker in the movie. He had a lot of funny one liners but one really stands out. "I'm happier than a tornado in a trailer park". I thought that was funny on a few levels. I used to live in a mobile home subdivision that got hit by a tornado and I remember that mobile home backs are referred to as tornado magnets. The big reason this was an outstanding one liner is because where I live most of the people don't have a clue what he might have been referring to. In order for me to tell that joke down here I would have to explain what a "trailer" is, then what a "trailer park" is, along with a few other explanations in order for people here to understand why that statement would be funny. There have been a few things that I have managed to translate that are still funny but a lot of things lose something in the translation.
Just a short thought for the day. I am not saying anything to demean the people of this country, I would never do that. I love the people here.
