Unique Auto Horn
Walter George Newman definitely sounds like he was a bit of a character. I like the idea of having a guy blowing on a trumpet instead of a horn.

Mary Colum, a contemporary of Hemingway, once observed: "I think you’ll find the only difference between the rich and other people is that the rich have more money."

That's what you have to do to them if they resist being stump-broke.

Today that would have to be $10,000 in $5s and $10s, an 'undocumented worker' dressed as a Mariachi, and for $1000 he could find someone to help him invent his own new swear word as he got mugged.
s: Yes, cowboys still punch cattle - literally. A punch to the flank numbs the skin and muscle long enough that a veterinary injection doesn't feel like a bite from a horsefly. OUCH!

Those were black cows. They deserved to be punched. Some were seen flashing gang signs with their udders on facebook. Riot and loot the farm fields now !!

I'm so glad to know that my hometown is famous..... for having a douchebag stop over on his way through town. Sounds like a winner and about right for here!
