[Humor, Fountain Pen] "Manual Transmission Ballpoint"

Heard on NPR a few moments ago. Story teller talking about owning a pcikup truck with a manual shift lever on the steering column. He speaks of telling passengers that the thing sticking out of the steering column is the manual shift lever. He says these are the same people who ask him what his kind of pen he is using (fountain pen) and he replies, "Manual transmission ballpoint".

I laughed so hard I choked. :-)
