Last year we were on our way to a local cruise; my wife driving her 55.1 3100 (known as "Junkyard Dog") and I in the 55 Sedan (known as "Girl"). That day we were accompanied by my friend's two teenage daughters with the older riding with me (because of how much she loves the BelAir).
Her teenage mind was whirring away and she posed this conundrum to me:
1. She's an evil madman and she has stolen both of our classic vehicles.
2. She's dangling them over a precarious cliff and I can only save one vehicle, which do I choose?
Of course my first response was to say that I would beat up the evil madman and save both cars; she in her cunning teenage mind says, "Not permitted." After a moment I tell her I would save Junkyard, and her wide-eyed incredulous look proves to me that I have totally messed up her riddle. Undaunted I confirmed my choice, and of course she demands to know why.
I calmly explain that if the "evil madman" is her, I already know how much she loves Girl and that she would never let evil befall her. Therefore by saving Junkyard, I preserve both vehicles.
"You're no fun Mr. Dave." My only response was a diabolical evil madman laugh to celebrate my victory.
