A Checklist for the Culturally Insecure

by Maurice Fitznuggly, Culture StudiesEditor


Part IV. Transportation
___ 1. Give yourself +5 for each hybrid vehicle in your household.
___ 2. Give yourself –5 for each vehicle in your household with a ground clearance greater that six inches.
___ 3. Give yourself –5 for each vehicle in your household that gets less that 20 miles per gallon in city driving.
___ 4. Let "A" = the number of people in your household. Let "B" = the total seats in the vehicles owned by your household. Subtract A from B and give yourself that negative number. Example 9-3 = 6; your score would be –6.
___ 5. Give yourself +1 for each time in the last week that you’ve visibly angered another driver by talking on your cellphone while at the wheel.
___ 6. Give yourself +5 for each Segway you own.
