This reminds me of a story told by Brother Dave Garner (Google it if you're too young to know him). Back in the fifties in the South there was a young man who got a job driving for a state senator. Now he had never driven a car with an automatic transmission and was taking the senators car for a ride. He wasn't sure what gear to put it in so he started out by putting it in "L" for what he thought stood for "Leap". He took off and shortly another guy pulled up beside him. He figured he wanted to drag so he put it in "Dr" for what he thought was "Drag". At about 90 mph he figured the other guy wanted to race so he shoved it into "R" for "Race".
