Michael-Roo Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 From the June issue.Could someone please explain this joke to me? Quote
Peckris Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 It looks like they are just plays on the word MINI. I don't get the first one though. Has it anything to do with the General Election? Or maybe the World Cup? (Both around that time).Whatever, I don't see what it's got to do with coins! Quote
Accumulator Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Minnehaha (spelling?) was an American Indian character as I recall. the other is a well known rhyme used for choosing between two options. Not sure of the coin connection though, and certainly not laugh out loud as jokes! Quote
TomGoodheart Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I can only guess the two guys were comparing which car they drove. The Mini was mocked .. but with the economics of the time, maybe a small car was a wise choice?Sadly it's all about context and at the time I was as interested in economics as most 13 year o Woah, is that a naked lady on the cover of new Black Sabath album!?!?

I don't remember the Mini being mocked? It was lauded on first appearance and after winning a few serious rallies, it never looked back. Quote
