Thanks for the replies. I'm definitely good at playing dumb

Now I have to start collecting reasons why I can't live without it.

Maybe I'll start by finding that movie w/ Chuck Norris where he's knocked out by the villains and buried alive in his blown Blazer. Once he wakes up he douses himself with half a beer, drinks the rest, hits the gas and blasts out from underneath tons of dirt. Hey you never can tell when a supercharger might save your life.

After that one all the rest of my lame excuses will seem reasonable.
