Turn the tape over twice to access the secret C side...

That reminds me of the Monty Python vinyl LP Matching Tie and Handkerchief. If you played the B side, flipped it to play the A side, then flipped it again, you really did (50% of the time) get a secret C side.

The B side, instead of having a single spiral groove, had two concentric grooves interleaved with each other. It was a matter of luck which of those two grooves the stylus landed on.

There was a guy on another forum I used to frequent whose sig was "Use your indicators! You people act like it's sharing information with the enemy!"

When I lived in Kentucky, many drivers had the weird habit of using turn signals after completing a lane change. Shortly after moving to the DC area, a driver pulled the same stunt in front of me one day. Yup, Kentucky plates.
