Cars...

Written by in10sity

When they sell cars, they always try to make the car sound really good by telling you things about it. Things like how much horse power it has. Like, "Buy this car... it has 275 horse power!"

But, before cars were invented, I wonder if they did this when they tried to sell horses. "Buy this horse... it has 1 horse power." I guess it doesn't quite have the same effect. I wonder if there were shady used horse dealers back then too. "Buy this horse... it has 2 horse power!" "You liar, it's only one horse!" "Yeah but he's strong, he works out..." "Bullshit! I'm leaving!"

I think the best part of a car are those 2 hooks in the back seat above the windows for you to hang clothes on from a hanger. I think this is a great feature, but you never really see the hooks advertised in car commercials. I guess car companies don't consider the hooks a big selling point of the car. They always show the big trucks driving over rocks and dirt roads... "for the driver who likes the outdoors." How about the car with lots of little hooks... "for the driver who does a lot of dry cleaning."

I think I want to be a comedian.

I think the horse-selling analogy might be more like, "this horse has .2 mammoth power," or something like that
