@Tracy: Thank you! This is a pet peeve of mine! I think it gives people the wrong idea when they hear the incorrect saying. Money is fine if used properly. It goes from not making any sense when incorrect to a profound truth when properly quoted.
Since when is it illegal to have thousands of animals in your trunk? Surely there is a reasonable explanation. Like, "I was taking my thousands of animals to the park but they all get car sick if they don't ride in the trunk".
I don't think this stuff is too funny. This kid's testicles could have been ruptured if he was unlucky. It does happen. Having the ability to have a family someday taken away isn't really a great prank. I'd imagine his "friend" would feel pretty terrible if that happened.
