Car payments, insurance, parking  fees, speeding tickets, petrol, --owning a car takes the biggest bite out of our budget.

Did you know that Little Red Riding Hood was actually born in the USA? In Pepsicola, Tella-lassie, Why-oming? 
She was!
And her fairy story includes a wolf, with a wide-open mouth, just like the car (auto) in the picture.
For this reason, Americans refer to this part of the vehicle as, �The Hood�.
 
When she emigrated to England, in 1493, she discovered that all girls and women wore �A Bonnet�.
For the same reason, the English refer to this part of the vehicle as, �The Bonnet�.
 
This can all be verified by referring to Brewer�s �Myth and Fable�, written by Vino Brewer, page 443.

By the way, I recently heard another true story.
 
Three Polar Bears were sitting on an iceberg, in Alaska. They were a Mam Polar Bear, a Dad Polar Bear, and their Baby Polar Bear, all cuddled up together.
The Baby Polar Bear asked his Mam a question.
 
"Mam, am I a Polar Bear?"
"Of course you are!"
"Are you a Polar Bear?"
"Of course I am!"
"Is Dad a Polar Bear?"
"Of course he is!"
"But, Mam, are we all real Polar Bears, snuggled up, lovely and warm?"
"Of course we are! I�m real! Dad�s real! You�re real! We�re all real Polar Bears! Why do you ask such a silly question?"
"Well, Mam, if I�m a real Polar Bear --- 
--- Why am I FREEZING COLD?"
