I would give my left leg...
 
Funny little story for those of us that drive sticks...
When I was in college I had a roommate ask he could borrow my car. I told him, "Sure, but it's a stick." He said, "Damn, I would give my left leg to know how do drive a stick!"... and he was serious!
I always liked having a stick shift because seemingly few people know how to drive one, so people are less likely to borrow it.

One of my most proud achievements: Teaching my wife how to drive stick. Bonus achievement: Getting her to embrace and participate in hypermiling and loathe driving automatics! :thumbup:

Maybe I'm missing the joke, but he wouldn't be able to work the clutch without his left leg, or is that the joke??

How much is a sense of humor on ebay?

I think it's a "nonsense joke". Kind of like cutting the branch off a tree that you are sitting on.

I have a similar joke that I made up. Instead of saying "crazy like a fox", I say CRAZY LIKE A BOX!!!!!!

Can you figure it out?

When i first got my car, i didn't know how to drive a manual. When i deployed to Al Asad, Iraq in 2007 i had duty to drive guys to work, the dining hall, and the "cans" a few times a week. All they had there were standard buses, so that's how i learned...poor bus. I like my car being auto but sometimes i do wish it was a manual though.

Not many people do. It's designed to promote consternation and squiggly foreheads of angst. Crazy like a Fox means savvy. Crazy like a Box is a nonsense phrase, which is crazy, so it means Crazy like a .... well, just crazy.

For best effect, wait for someone to say "that's just crazy". Before anyone else says anything, interrupt the conversation with a louder-than-normal grating voice, wild looking eyes, and slight frothing at the mouth. If the conversation comes to a dead stop and people look at you funny, you have succeeded.

I wish my car had the fun and MPG of the manual, and the ease of the auto.

In traffic, I want an auto sooo bad.

Maybe it's not me. Maybe you ought to put "Sense of Humor" on your Christmas list and give people the link to "Buy It Now".
