I saw a Tonka truck today on my way to work. For once in my life, I was speechless. I'm serious. It was a big truck, a big guy truck (because you know everyone here must have a big truck) and it was yellow. Yellow and it said "Tonka" - right across the front of it. Pretty letters too. Cursive. Wow. Tonka Trucks. Who would've thunk that these things would make it from the playroom to the road? Can you imagine that idea being proposed to the head of Ford (whom I think makes the darn things?)? I don't know about you, but I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face. But that just goes to show - some people will buy (and drive) just about anything.

Tonka. Say it several times fast. It'll make you smile. Really.
