There’s a local radio car commercial where 2 guys pretending to be Cheech & Chong talk about buying a car at a particular dealership. First guy says “They only ask you 3 questions”, the second guy says something like “Ooh, I get it.” and the first one says “No, not _those_ 3 questions.”
So what are the 3 questions that “Cheech & Chong” are talking about? Is there some sort of movie or drug reference here I’m missing? The local radio DJs were confused by it too. They even called a guy they knew at that dealership and HE didn’t know.

But no, don’t think that’s it.

Hey, open up, man, I got the three questions.
So maybe: license, insurance, registration?

Man, you _really_ have to eat some _brownies_, man, before this makes any sense.

Maybe, but the way “Cheech” said “Ohhhhh, I get it” or whatever, it sounded like something drug related and/or illegal.

Update. The durn commerical came on again. The exact reply to the “they only ask you 3 questions” thing is “Ohhh, right, I’m hip man.”
See, doesn’t that sound like drugs?

I think it’s like the man said:
License
Registration
Insurance.
What the big ol’ cop asks you for when he stops you.
