to them. You still can't getnew tires, and the old ones are
really in shreds. And it's wonderfulyou can not only knock a pedestrian down,
but you can give him forty lashesat the same time. We certainly
(02:08):
do have a pedestrian problem here inCalifornia. Pedestrian problem that's when a Pierce
Arrow hits you and Pierce Brothers getsyou. I'm not saying the cars were
jammed together today, but I gotstalled and lifted up my hood and two
ports drove out. People don't gethooked bumpers here anymore. They get locked
windshield wipers and nobody puts out hishand. He's afraid somebody will run over
(02:38):
it. But it's really dangerous drivingin this weather. The low ceiling is
forcing the women drivers down. Andboy, those women drivers are really confusing.

chapter of Forever Amber. I won'tsay my car's all but when I drove

everything. They even come equipped witha mirror underneath the car. That's for
fastidious pedestrians who want to die withtheir ties straight. See that's the mirrors
under the car. I could haveput a mirror under the bench and Griffin
Park and then throw the whole thingout of the window. And a cigarette
lighter. And the cigarette lighter nowhas a rubber tube going unto the floor.
(04:04):
For women drivers, it's really wonderful. The exhaust keeps their cigarettes going
while they're stirring with their feet,while they pull their girdles down with their
hands. I'm rodding the bars withrainbow tround's gun having last what in front?
