If
Ted
Kennedy drove a Volkswagen, he'd be President today
It floats.
The way our
body is built, we'd be surprised if it didn't. The sheet of
flat steel that goes underneath every Volkswagen keeps out water, as
well as dirt and salt and other nasty things that can eat away at the
underside of a car. So it's watertight at the bottom. And everybody
knows it's easier to shut the door on a Volkswagen after you've rolled
down the window a little.
That proves
it's practically airtight on top. If it was a
boat, we could call it the Water Bug. But it's not a
boat, it's a car.
And, like Mary Jo Kopechne, it's only 99 and 44/100
percent pure. So it won't
stay afloat forever. Just long enough. Poor Teddy. If he'd been
smart enough to buy a Volkswagen, he never would have gotten into hot
water. |
