Been trying on cars. The most comfortable I’ve found so far are SUVs — but I’d rather not be seen driving a ‘penis substitute’ when I already have a rifle.

What I really want is a zippy little hatchback, but they don’t come in my size. (The biggest problem is room for my right knee.)

Reminds me of someone I know; I wonder how many of you can guess whom I have in mind.
