On this day in 1940 the first prototype of the Jeep was submitted to the U.S. Army. Built to be a strong transport vehicle on the fields of war its revolutionary four-wheel drive capabilities allowed it to traverse difficult terrain. However, the removable top, a feature of the Jeep, was designed for other reasons. While designing the prototype Jeep engineers were smoking what can only be described as "copious" amounts of marijuana. This open top allowed the smoke to ventilate properly so when the "boss man" came around he wouldn't suspect a thing. Also, after years of research Jeep engineers were able to perfect what is now known as the Jeep wave, a popular way to signal your fellow Jeep owners that you too are a gas guzzling douchebag disguised as "an outdoorsy kinda guy".
According to Cape Ann Beacon journalist, Revisionist History contributor, and renown conspiracy theorist T. Buresh Doyle, known for his work on controversial issues and exposes including "Gloucester Town Meeting: Really Just a Meeting?", reports that former U.S. President Ronald Reagan may or may not have been a robot... made out of recycled Jeep parts.
Lastly, here at Revisionist History we don't just like to cover historical events as we see them, we also like to challenge our readers to do some research and find out some things on their own. Does anyone recall the story of the guy who ate a whole Jeep? What's up with that? I will speak with my friend James, who went as Jamie from Mythbusters for Halloween so he might be able to shed some light on this urban legend.
Til next time... question history, or we'll be doomed to repeat it!
