There is nothing more romantic than being hopped up on speed, being unwashed and stuck in traffic all day. Keeping a chimpanzee in the cab would have made life "interesting".If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.Comment

I totally don't get the ratchet reference.
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths.

I wonder if this t-shirt actually came out during the short-lived popularity of the fad. I remember seeing CB stuff for a few years after the fad faded a bit.
