"Good," he says. "My car is right over there." I get in his car, a brand-new Lincoln, and right away I notice that it's a stick-shift.

I say, "You bought a new Lincoln with a stick shift? I didn't know that they made a Lincoln like that."

"They don't," he says. "I ordered it special."

"I'll bet that cost a fortune," I reply.

"Oh, yeah. You got that right."

"Why would you buy a new Lincoln with a stick shift," I ask?

He says, "My wife can't drive a stick."

Makes perfect sense to me! I had a perfect 67 427 Vette -- everytime I turned around, the better half was driving it ... said she loved it. Had to get her a 73 Vette just to keep her out of mine??!@#$ ...
