Choosy Shoppers Choose
Something other that Peter Pan or Great Value [WalMart store brand] peanut butter with lot numbers that begin 2111, unless they believe that salmonella is one of the required food groups.
They may also choose not to watch NASCAR unless they want to reward cheating. What a surprise, a bunch of G-d fearing, Shrubbery supporting, good ol’ boys are adding illegal chemicals to their fuel.
For those who know nothing about stock car racing, criminally and rule breaking are part of the mystique of a sport started by people who made their seed money by transporting moonshine.

…well, actually four of the five teams charged with cheating were accused of trying to gain aerodynamic advantage one way or another. Waltrip’s charge of monkeying with the fuel was truly stupid because of the peculiar qualifying rules at Daytona, where he was going to most likely have to make the race by finishing well in one of today’s 150-mile qualifying races.
I’ll still watch; I’ve been a gear head my whole life and watching NASCAR races is one of my dirty little secrets I try to keep from friends and relatives…
Anyone who doesn’t think all of those guys play fast and loose, isn’t paying attention. In the old days when Richard Petty was king they would put the cars in acid baths to reduce weight. Of course, back in those days you could buy the cars at a show room and most local machine shops could do all of the polishing necessary to be competitive.
