Get the P.E.B.K.A.C. mug.Extremely reliable and well-engineered car for the masses. Excellent market focus and superb assembly have made this THE best selling car in North America for many years running.
We love it when people come into the $hop with a "competitive" American car complaining about low power and a smoky exhaust (worn rings, destroyed valve seals, and myriad other malfunctions) at only 60,000 miles, saying "I saved $1,500 and bought this (insert name of Ford, GM or Chrysler product in same market segment) instead of a Honda Accord."
Of course, over the "life" of their American car they will pay me many thousands more than they saved on the initial purchase price. Life is good!
Crappy American cars that TRY to match the reliability of a Honda Accord?...well, keep buying them, America. American cars that break down a lot keep my $hop and my six employees afloat with plenty of work! :-)
If it weren't for American cars, I'd be a two-man shop doing only preventative maintenance (oil and trans fluid changes, a/c checks, spark plug changes once every 100,000 miles, yada yada).

Customer: "My warranty just expired on this Dodge Stratus, and it won't run."
Mechanic: "The PCM failed completely. I can get a used PCM from a salvage yard for the same model year for only $250.00"
Customer: "A used one? This car is only 3 years old. Did the other guy wreck his Stratus?"
Mechanic: "No...he did regular oil changes, but his engine seized at 43,000 miles due to sludge buildup from poor Chrysler design of the oiling system. Oh, a new PCM from Chrysler is over $400.00, but no warranty since Chrysler doesn't warrant their OEM electrical parts."
Customer: "Maybe I'll get a Ford Focus..."
Mechanic: "Sure, why not." (Me smiling at a customer for life; if he bought a Honda Accord, we wouldn't be having this conversation)

Get the acquaintance mug.Originating from Modern Warfare 2, an in-game phrase during online play that the announces to your team that a enemy was lucky enough to score an 11 kill-streak and has earned the chance to unleash destruction at the pulling of a trigger.
Hearing this phrase brings panic and chaos and generally leads to 1 of 3 things happening:
1) Players immediately run for the nearest form of cover (e.g. : buildings, houses, etc).
2) A more senior player will whip out a Javelin or AT-4 and aim it at the AC130 in hopes of bringing the rampage to an end before the pilot racks up a 25 kill streak for a nuke.
or 3) Newer players will stand out in the open and fire their guns at the plane, trying to bring it down. This is usually met by a 105mm round or 40mm round from the airplane above.
Following the announcement of the AC130's arrival, chaos ensues along with the howling entrance of 105mm rounds blasting the map to smithereens.

Computer Voice: "Enemy AC130 Above!!!"
Player 1: "Ahh shit, run for cover!"
Player 2: "Hey, I have an AT-4. I'll shoot it down."
Player 3: "Take that! What is that sound... Oh noo!! BOOM."
