Er, Joe! Your trailer's on fire!

Back, Bubba! Back! Somebody stop me, or I swear I'm gonna pass that 
mobile home on the right. Whaddaya mean, it's parked? I know a parked 
trailer house when I see one, and that boy's house is moving. I been all 
the way to Round Rock, so I know them sorts of things!

Joe, how ya doin' you old dweeb you!

Seriously, folks, if you get behind this one, don't pass him on the 
right. Don't pass him on the left. Just stay back there, and make funny 
faces at him. He watches his mirror all the time, and it'll drive him 
nuts.
