[DML] Optima Battery...you want fries with that?

[Gus Schlachter <gus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I went to the local Autozone to get an Optima Yellow battery, which I 
grabbed off the shelf and took to the counter to purchase.

  "What vehicle is this for, sir?"
  Gus tilted his head quizzically.  "Does it matter?"
  "It does if you want the warranty," was the matter-of-fact reply.
  Wryly, Gus answered "A 1981 Delorean."
  The clerk approached his terminal and quickly punched the keys to pull 
up the "D" list of manufacturers.  Datsun, Daihatsu, Dodge...hmmm.  He 
repeated this process, foolishly hoping for a different list the second 
time.  "Who makes that?" he asked, seeming somewhat annoyed.
  "Ummm...De Lor E an" Gus repeated, wondering how this guy managed to 
avoid both watching TV and going to the theater for the entire 80's 
decade.
  The clerk pondered his computerized predicament for a moment.  "Is 
there...some OTHER car that this battery could be for?!??"
