What does DU have against the Pep Boys?
Are they Republicans or something?

1. I consider Manny, Moe, and Jack to be my friends,
but I am not DU.

2. Manny Moe & Jack - they know what I'm after

When your on the road
and your car wont pull that load
and your wheels aren't feeling fine
Well I know of this joint
where they'll check your plugs and points
I know these guys they're three good friends of mine

Manny Moe and Jack
They know what I'm after
Manny Moe and Jack
They Know what I'm after
They're Manny Moe and Jack

Once your inside
they wont take you for a ride
they got a good deal for you and your automobile
for the right price
they will sell you fuzzy dice
and leather hand grips for your steering whee-al



If its tires you want they got a lot for you
Dunlop, Firestone, Pirelli too

(x8) Manny Moe and Jack!
They know what I'm after

3. Members of the Marcello crime family
They were intimately involved in planning the assasination of JFK.

At least I think I read that in an email.

4. Just this...
If they'd quit selling barbecue grills and chairs and go back to selling car parts, I'd like 'em a whole lot better.

5. My apologies!
I didn't catch that those are pictures of Skinner, Moe, and Elad on the fund raiser graphic! I must need new glasses.

6. It all started about 45 years ago
Manny and Moe were operating a small auto and lawn mower repair shop in the same town that two brothers, Tom and Ray, also operated a small auto and kitchen appliance repair shop. Over time the competition between the two shops became more intense and soon verbal disagreements in public became common. Tom and Ray finally accused Manny and Moe of being so incompetent that they "Didn't know Jack!" and thats when when the law suits started. Manny and Moe hired an attorney named Jack and their partnership has become the stuff of legend.

In the end Tom and Ray were sued into changing their names to Click and Clack (the Tappit brothers) and could only find work on a small NPR radio station while Manny, Moe and Jack became big time capitalists making huge sums of money ripping off the public.

That is why I support Car Talk on NPR and refuse to buy tires at Pep Boys.
