A Waggish Wink

Quoted in The Waste Makers by Vance Packard:  "A sales official of the British Motors Corporation, Ltd., was heard to complain, 'All you've got to do is drive out on a Sunday and have a look.  You'll find people out washing and polishing cars that are twenty years old.  Why, the blighters think more of their old cars than they do of their wives!'"

I say, give a man a twenty-year-old wife, and he'll pay attention to her.  ;)
