Default Black boxes in SUV's....

Apparently auto makers have started installing black boxes in four-wheel drive vehicles and pick-up trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised to find that in most countries the last words of drivers in 61.2 per cent of fatal crashes were translated as, "Oh, Sh*t!" Only Australia was different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this!"

its an old <insert location here> joke. works very well in Texas, especially since I grew up hearing that from time to time. *shaking head*

its sorta like King of the Hill. I really dont think most people "get it" - those are REAL people, those were my neighbors and people I knew growing up!
