May 1991

Dear Tom and Ray:
Our 15 year old son will be getting his license this year, and wants a car. Now before you make your recommendation, let me tell you a few of the things this boy has done. He recently shaved off his beautiful hair to impress a girl that likes crew cuts. Also, he and three friends went into a girls dormitory, stripped down to nothing, and went running through the house! With all of this in mind, what kind of car do you think we should get him?
Amy

TOM: Amy, we have the perfect car for this guy. Have you heard of the new Hum-Vee. This is the army's newest all-terrain vehicle, which replaces the Jeep.

RAY: Unfortunately, the only way Junior can get to drive a Hum-Vee is by enlisting in the army. How's that for killing two birds with one stone? Besides, he's already got the haircut for it!
