CAR GAME

IN THIS CAR GAME, THE OBJECT IS TO SEE AND POINT OUT VOLKSWAGONS
BEFORE THE REST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR. WHENEVER YOU SEE A
VOLKSWAGON,
YOU SAY "SLUG-BUG, NO SLUG BACKS," AND THAT ONE IS "YOURS."
THERE IS USUALLY NO ATTEMPT TO COUNT THE NUMBER OF "SLUG-BUGS" SEEN,
BUT MERELY TO SEE AND DECLARE THEM BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. (IN MY WORDS)
