This is an old Dallas custom apparently.
The first I recall having seen “A private citizen so fed up he invested money for an ad” … like this, a full page ….of outrage against a president and government policies. Ran on November 22, 1963.

When in a shit pickle, drown your woes in Victory Gin. By the time the bottle’s half gone, you’ll feel too big to fail!

You do know that Mustangs are made by Ford, not GM, right?

“On the other hand, I do love Jeeps. And the new Mustangs. So I’m in what Hellenistic and Renaissance philosophers so commonly referred to as “a shit pickle.” (from the original Latin.)”

I feel your pain. I went from a ‘04 Land Rover Discovery to an ‘08 Jeep Wrangler four door last year and was pleasantly surprised. I loved that Disco but the Jeep is just as much fun and much easier on the wallet (not having to buy premium gas anymore was a treat in itself). However the dealership nearest to me was shut down by Chrysler so I will now have to drive farther for service and I also have to worry about what will happen to the brand now that Fiat has control. I still have three years on the lease so hopefully the market will sort itself out by the time I need to start shopping for a replacement. Optimistic little sonofagun, aren’t I?

“Shit pickle…” (snicker)…I like that.
