Reply #6: It all started about 45 years ago [View All]

Manny and Moe were operating a small auto and lawn mower repair shop in the same town that two brothers, Tom and Ray, also operated a small auto and kitchen appliance repair shop. Over time the competition between the two shops became more intense and soon verbal disagreements in public became common. Tom and Ray finally accused Manny and Moe of being so incompetent that they "Didn't know Jack!" and thats when when the law suits started. Manny and Moe hired an attorney named Jack and their partnership has become the stuff of legend.

In the end Tom and Ray were sued into changing their names to Click and Clack (the Tappit brothers) and could only find work on a small NPR radio station while Manny, Moe and Jack became big time capitalists making huge sums of money ripping off the public.

That is why I support Car Talk on NPR and refuse to buy tires at Pep Boys.
