I heard a radio DJ say he saw that once. That is so weird. If you need to practice that badly, doing so in the car on the way to a concert (or wherever) isn’t going to help.

As for the kid in the Caddy blowin’ smoke – are you sure it was from a cigarette?

I once had a co-worker who could change from her work clothes into her gym clothes, in the car on the way to the gym. Completely.

Anyone see the episode of Mr. Bean where he did the same thing? Pajamas to regular clothes, on the way to the dentist, **while driving** (he put a brick on the gas pedal). He overslept, you see, and didn’t want to be late for the appointment; never mind that this would have taken three minutes at home!

[hijack]I also love the one where he goes to the beach, doesn’t want to change into his swim trunks in front of the one other beachgoer, and somehow manages to put them on **without first removing his trousers!** I swear Rowan Atkinson has more joints and tendons than the rest of us. And of course, at the end of the sketch, the other guy turns out to be blind.[/hijack]
