ONLY locals are allowed to breakdown in Flamefart County. 'Ferreners', as
they are often called in polite society, are arrested for Littering if their
car/truck/moped/cow breaks down inside the county. the only 'comforting voice'
you're gonna hear is Bubba Boshell, the local Minister and High Propaganda
of the Holy Hallelujah Haven and Tanning Palor, as he tries to convince you
that it was the work of the Devil in your loins that caused you to break down
in his county.

no phone? if i'm broke down in Flamefart County, i'm gonna wanna call
SOMEBODY on my cellphone before Bubba finds me!!

while this may be a good idea, i still like the idea of a window sticker ...
i kinda like ric's idea of the four generations at the corners of a square
or rectangle.  but that gets kinda complicated to print/produce.

how about everybody just put a big 1'x1' square of reflective tape on the
rear hatch? :)  sure it would look stoopid, but ...
