What if?

[Erik Smith]

What if we really did not start the fire

We didn't. It was always burning, since the world was turning.

After that TV show I think everyone does.

We NJers get blamed for that one while most of the show characters are NOT from New Jersey!

My daughters do know Sammie, who grew up in our town. My elder daughter was her camp councilor.

Jersey (as we LI'ers call it) is not all "The Sopranos" or "Jersey Shore", nor is it all turnpike exits and refineries. It's like anywhere else with nice places and... not-so-nice places. Just like New York- it's not all like Manhattan.

What if we could shrink our real cars down to 1/25 scale?

[Draggon]

What if contemporary cars had real names that made some sense, instead of imaginary words as model names? Who would want to drive an "Armada"? What about a "Flotilla" or "Squadron"? What if people knew that the "MK" used by Lincoln actually is an abbreviation for "mark", as in version, as in Continental Mark 4. "MKZ"... I don't think that sounds appealing at all.

Nissan makes an Armada. Ive seen one. Made my Durango feel like a compact. Actually, I'd like to drive something named "Squadron". On a weirder note, what if the internal combustion engine didnt work out and steam was the motivating force? Imagine how that would affect flight.

And do what with them? Maybe enter them in contests and win "Best Detail?"

[johnbuzzed]

Nah, then we could do like Steve Martin suggested and "get small" . Go for a little cruise. Bother the cat...

Had one of those monstrosities park next to my Cherokee once and that thing actually completely obscured my little Jeep from view when I approached them......all I could think was, I know I parked right over there, where is it?

Nah, some clown would complain about an inaccuracy in the build.

[blunc]

what if the Scripps-Booth "Behemoth" dwarfed the Nissan "Armada"?

[blunc]

If Duesenberg had joined up with the rest of the companies that came to be General Motors, would they still be making them and would they be making a standard supercharged model?

If Bugatti had actually gotten his airplane to mass production and been a positive factor in WWII, would there have been a bomber version?

Naw. Somebody would complain that the proportions weren't right or the details weren't accurate.

[Danno]

i think more people would be wearing large hats.

ROTFLMAO!!!

Nominee for MC-Emmy in the "Best Answer Today" category.

[Danno]

I read that, too. and thought to myself: why doesn't he lead by example.

Amen.

What if the Corvette were made from steel instead of fiberglass?

Where did that darn Zbart stuff go?

The oil leaks will be a snap to clean up! Just pick it up and use a BRAWNY towel

What if pigs flew?

This is a funny question. I used to have a little sign at work that said " If A holes could fly, this place would be an airport. And of course it had a picture of little A holes with wings flying to and fro. I think some boss saw it and did not think it was motivational so he got rid of it.

I once had a boss who used to say "this place is a warehouse for a-holes."

That term was a little too crude for use on law enforcement radio frequencies, so we used the euphemism "Adam Henry" . . . the phonetic pronunciation of A.H.

[Agent G]

We'd sit for hours in a "staff meeting" where the only one speaking was my then captain (Adam Henry). He was a big proponent of "what if?"

What if what if what if. Anyone in law enforcement knows you can only "what if" so much.

One time he concludes with "Any questions?" so I asked "What if pigs flew and monkeys jumped out of my a**?"

I got the transfer I wanted the next week........................................
