    Yeah it was all Maybelle's idea.

    Buy the church raffle ticket for a trip to Asia, she said. Take a chance, she said. See the world, she said. Get away from the motorboat-gate incident, she said. Forget your troubles for a while, she said.

    The truth is, Maybelle was a controlling, manipulating monster hell-bent on turning both of them into Republicans, and the wooden carving was the final straw. Jay Dubya knew there was only one place he could be safe from her and her evil Republican ways, and went about landing himself in jail. Being in his position, he knew the Thai penalty system was harsh on GTA crimes and thus could be assured a life sentence there.

    And what better way to go out than behind the wheel of a V8? After spotting Eleanor in a showroom downtown, the plan was to launch said ve-hicle through the shop window, and lead the po-lice on a wild chase through the streets of Bangkok. Once arrested, he would pretend to protest the decision and use racial slurs just to ensure he didn't get off lightly. Ten fingers on the ink pad, bwoy.

    I don't see the issue. It's like eating at McDonald's in Paris.

    It's something this character would do.

    I don't know about the Peppers being in Thailand, but visiting a car dealership seems like something a guy like that would do because it's one of the only things he can relate to in a foreign culture where people are trying to sell the tourists junk. Maybe the biggest reason to go in: It's an American Motors dealership, something J.W. can relate to even more.

    That sounds like a joke where the ticket buyer is ultimately conscripted and sent to Vietnam, while the war still lasted...
