While arguably off the topic of user-centered media, I had to publish this incident observed by a friend:
In the early 1970's when the Jaguar XK-E was still in production (the quintessentially sexy sports car that Enzo Ferrari called "the most beautiful car ever made"), my friend told me of the time he passed one parked on the street as two small boys marvelled at it.
He overheard one say, "Boy, wouldn't you love to have a car like that?"
To which the other replied. "Have a car like that? I'd like to be a car like that!"

I offer this as too classic to remain unpublished. The incident was reported by my late friend Walter Ensdorf, who was always a very keen observer of the world.
