The VW came to America in numbers large enough to become familiar when I was a late teenager. We used to delight in placing them in positions they could not have gotten into naturally and were devilishly difficult to remove. Ten or 12 strapping lads could do wonderful things when someone did the heave hos.

I think that the two shorn-off hazard signs tell a different story!

College pranks were also legendary during that era (maybe still are, I don't know). I remember hearing about a bunch of students—MIT, I think, though who knows?—who performed one of the best. Their dorm resident director, or whatever they called them, was away for the weekend, and someone had keys to his suite. They disassembled a VW bug, took it into his room, and reassembled it there for him to find upon his return.
