[ercoupe-flyin] scare-coupe

[c . d . gundy]

Really now!   
I'm in the hangar working on my beloved Ercoupe with the local, well-seasoned 
mechanic, when in walks an old friend of his and she says, 
"Hi Russ, I see you're working on a scare coupe"! 
She really was a nice lady so I didn't say something like, "this is MY Ercoupe 
and it's the safest thing you'll ever fly, so back off!" 
That's what I really wanted to say.  But the question remains, where did that 
come from?  Has anybody else ever heard that?
