Once, when I was five, I saw a news broadcast that ended with a shot of a car driving away from the camera and the reporter signing off with, "This John Doe reporting from Chicago". Except I didn't hear "Chicago" but instead, "WatchYerCarGo". I thought that was the name of the biggest city in the Midwest for years afterwards. Even when I knew better I couldn't think of Chicago without visualizing that old gas guzzler pulling away from the curb.
