I’m driving on the German autobahn. I feel great; the sky is the limit. But the speed isn’t the only thing making my day…
Example:
While driving, I like to eat little chocolate balls filled with cream.
Bahn-bons
1. The natives have a unique accent in Southeastern Germany. At the end of a meal, they say something that sounds French, and I feel oddly hungry for the road afterwards.
2. I passed a drum circle on my way; as I looked between the hippies’ knees, I saw a new type of drum.
3. In order to facilitate communication with passengers and other drivers at high speeds, I’ve developed a kind of ’street-talk’ (mostly swerving and honking). I’m thinking of having it recognized as an official language and taught in schools.
4. The day nearly over, I took a detour to a drive-in theater and watched a wonderful romantic drama about two drivers who never seem to love each other at the same time.

MG: I found this at a bar!
Fox: I should have gone to Berkeley in the 60s! My parents, though, wouldn’t Stand for’t.
MG: I know… I feel like we missed out on a good opportunity with Berkeley. But my parents would have Yaled at me if I went.
Fox: In reality, I was too mainstream to go there. I used to listen to Prince a ton!
MG: But you know, maybe I should have gone to school in California rather than Ohio… Then I wouldn’t have ended up in Corn-hell.

Simon and Renee are a couple on a road trip to the Napa vineyards.
Example:
Renee: Are we there yet?
Simon: Quit your Wining!
1. Simon: I say, the roads here are not very straight. How would you describe them, darling?
2. Renee: Let’s find a secluded vineyard, get naked and make love… What do you think?
3. Simon: Remember that great position we tried last Friday? It was called “Drunk Hippo” or something…
4. Renee: We forgot the whip! We’ll have to create something string-like out of materials nearby…

The pro-lifers presumed then to tutor us
On what women should do with their uterus
Fifty million they paid
To defeat Roe v. Wade
But they couldn’t persuade David Souterus
