... and a lack of good taste.
"A woman is a lot like, um, a refrigerator. They're about 6 ft. tall, 300 lbs., they make ice, and... oh, wait a minute. Actually, a woman is more like a beer. They smell good. They look good. You'd step over your own mother just to get one. But you can't stop at one... you want to drink another woman."

Wouldn’t that have been a kebab car, rather than a car kebab?
