Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw on the back of a 'conversion van' back
in the hippy days, it said 'Don't laugh, your daughter could be in here."

Apparenty, there are many flaws in this day and age associated with a group
of highschool seniors, 2 couples in particular, trying to convince their
parents to let them ride to and from (and to after partys) in a VW bus. The
decision was made by the parents not to let their daughters ride in the
vehicle, after seeing the "newly installed curtains" and "Sweet extra wide
blue cordaroy bed!".......
These are points that should not enter the conversation for someone my age.
It was this day, that i learned this lesson.

So if there are any other youngen's out there.....don't use the words "And
we'd like to go to prom in this VW bus. It's got sleeping space for 5!!!".
Not good.

Though i do admit, the ladies do enjoy the "little miss sunshine" themed
music while attempting to conquer a hill on 3 cylinders!
