It　floats.

The　way　our　body　is　built,　we‘d　be　surprised　if　it　didn’t.

The　sheet　of　flat　steel　that　goes　underneath　every　Volkswagen　keeps　out　water,　as　well　as　dirt　and　salt　and　other　nasty　things　that　can　eat　away　at　the　underside　of　a　car.　So　its　watertight　at　the　bottom.

And　everybody　knows　it‘s　easier　to　shut　the　door　on　a　Volkswagen　after　you’ve　rolled　down　the　window　a　little.

That　proves　its　practically　airtight　on　top.　If　it　was　a　boat,　we　could　call　it　the　Water　Bug.

But　it‘s　not　a　boat,　it’s　a　car.

And,　like　Mary　Jo　Kopechne,　it‘s　only　99　and　44/100　percent　pure.　So　it　won’t　stay　afloat　forever.　Just　long　enough.

Poor　Teddy.

If　hed　been　smart　enough　to　buy　a　Volkswagen,　he　never　would　have　gotten　into　hot　water.
