This is True

Honk If You Love Me

When Buster Mitchell’s girlfriend walked out on him, he went back to his beloved and decided to make it legal with her. Mitchell, 28, went to the county courthouse in Knoxville, Tenn., and started filling out the marriage license application. He listed his fiancee’s birthplace as Detroit, her father as “Henry Ford” and her blood type as “10-W-40” before the clerk stopped him — Mitchell was trying to get a license to marry his car, a ’66 Ford Mustang GT. “Why can’t we do the good ol’ boy thing and marry our cars and trucks?” he lamented later. He plans to try again elsewhere. (AP) ...And all this time we thought the “good ol’ boy thing” was to marry your cousin.
