My wife once described to be a vehicle she saw in a small town in 
central Florida.  It was an old white station wagon with two huge 
speaker horns mounted on its roof and the handles of  some beat-up 
lawnmowers sticking out of the back.  On the side of the car was 
written: "The Reverend Joshua T Brown -- Traveling Minister of the 
Gospel and Lawn Service."
