I like the advice about the pimpmobile...
"You never get in trouble by reading a book: you ain't saying nothin', and you ain't breakin' no laws." Unless, of course, you're reading your copy of Playboy during English class...not that I've done that, you understand.
Great advice and commentary -- especially about loaning $20.
Duck tape is good enough for me. I like the New Orleans humor, evil pop tart.
