My grandfather was old when I was young and lived on the banks of the Erie Barge Canal which ran right through the middle of my hometown of lockport, NY.
Grandpa used to visit with his pal Joe Scalzo who owned a service station in Lowertown ( The section where the poorer ethnic groups lived - the ritzy people lived in Lockport proper) and he'd sit in front of the gas station soaking up the sun and drinking a little of his homemade wine.
One day a brand new Cadillac Convertible ( Circle 1947 or so) stops in for a fill up at Scalzo's. While Joe's son is pumping the fuel Grandpa inspected the car with growing admiration ( He never had a license let alone owned a car in his life).
So he peeks into the driver's compartment and said:
" Moddona, dis a nice-a automobile! What's alla dis stuff here?"
" Well, Thats the Wiper knob, This is the heater, over here's the radio , Those are sunvisors, There's the ashtray for my cigar ashes and of course - This is the glove compartment"
" Meengya....What kinda car is-a dis ?"
" It's a brand new Cadillac V-8" answered the owner with obvious pride.
About that time Billy Scalzo come's over and tells the owner the bill is ten dollars and twenty cents.
The owner fished a ten dollar bill out of his wallet handed it to Billy and then goes in his pocket for the change. When he pulls it out, there among his loose change are several golf tee's.
"So tell me - What are-a dose-a tings?" Asked Grandpa.
"They're called Tees - I use them to prop up my balls up when I drive off the green..."
" Figue de Putain!!! (Son of a B*#$H)...Dese-a guys at Cadillac, They think-a of everything!" exclaimed Grandpa
