I'm so glad you posted this! I was giggling over it in the morning paper as well and wondering if I could figure out how to post it. Bravo!

this happened to me and a friend in college (in the rust belt) - he had just bought a used BMW 1800 and we were jacking it up to put on jack stands

it suddenly lurched to one side (first jack stand penetration), then went down hard

A common, almost popular national past-time in the early 70's was to hop in your beetle and have the driver's seat sink thru the rotted floor board. Very Happy

I personally knew about 5 or 6 this happened to .... usually in winter for some reason. Confused

I think the only reason I read this comic is to watch for the brief VW van references!
