#3 in the late 60's there was a rumor of somebody putting Thai-Sticks in the ash trays of some new Mustangs.

I wonder, considering the times, how much the rumor increased sales.

#8 Which goes to show... something. It wouldn't have occurred to me that a bag full of dried leaves was drugs, although no doubt the trailing daughters would have figured it out. They both take after Mr. Wife in some things.
