I pulled up to a stoplight behind the pick-up truck pictured below yesterday, and was just DUMBFOUNDED by the text on the back, so I took a photo with my cell-phone. Let’s dissect it, shall we? We shall.
“I rather be CUMMIN then stroken.”
OK. I went ahead and assumed “CUMMIN” was some stupid car thing, which was correct: My roommate Ryan informs me that CUMMIN makes diesel engines of some sort, and that a competitor makes ‘power-stroke’ engines.
Fair enough – this person would rather have a diesel engine than a non-diesel engine. Is it really necessary to advertise that sentiment to the world on the back of your truck in a horrendously-worded masturbation euphemism? Note that the use of ‘then’ instead of ‘than’ suggests that the driver of this particular vehicle would either:
a.) Like to have a diesel engine, followed by a non-diesel engine
or
b.) Like to indulge in a puzzlingly-sequenced masturbatorial act.
Unfortunately, google reveals that this is a “catchphrase” of sorts. Slight consolation: at least most of them get the ‘than’ right.
