I saw a little, old, blue-haired couple arguing with the Walmart
employee who couldn't fit the 50" TV into their 1970s compact car.
Well, it fit into the back seat, but neither front seat would fold
back upright and neither door would close. I think the 24" long trunk
was too narrow to stick the box in sideways, too, even if they had
some way to support the other 3' which were sticking out.

My grin lasted over half an hour for that one. Two guys walked past
me while I put on the windshield wiper blades and wondered just what I
was grinning about. That shot the grin up another notch.

Peoplewatching is fun.

I bought a piece of plywood that did that... So I took it back in to the
store and asked them to cut it. It fit in the car just fine then. I bet
that would have worked for the TV!
