[Hal Copple]

in the three years and 50K miles driven in my Olthoff SPF, here in SC, i have only had one hurtful comment made to me.

When my car was pretty new, my son Chris and I hosed it off, vacuumed out the leaves, and went and parked in a car show, several hundred cars. I did not realize that many people are pretty serious about car shows, with carpet, mirrors, displays, etc. But Chris and were enjoying ourselves, answering questions, when this young woman came up, and told me "this is why it costs so much to come see you in the office", and then strutted off. I did not recognize her.

I was stunned, and hurt, as apparantly she comes to our three physician practice, at which i work really really hard.

so i packed up the car, and Chris and I drove away, and we never again went to another car show. My friend at the speed shop told me later that we would have one first place overall, if we had just thought to hose off the undercarriage. We did not know that the judges would get down and look UNDER the car!

So i think jelousy is pretty much the root of folks' hurtful comments.

Many years ago, i realized that for men, they get into trouble over mony, sex, or drugs, and for women, it is exclusively jelousy.

No more car shows for the Hal and the Great Stroker!
