My first car was a MGB!  That makes me an Australian aborigine,
because everyone knows that all aborigines drive MG's!!

In fact, if you go into Altavista and enter "three windshield wipers"
or "british racing green", you'll get all these advertisements for
loincloths, raw kangaroo meat, and boomerangs.  Try it!
 
Hoogle-boogle!

P.S. I find it weird to think that older, yiddish-speaking Jews spend
a lot of time on Alta Vista.  I find it even harder to believe that
they spend a lot of time searching the Web for, like, "schlemiel" or
"gefiltefish" or something.
