If the weather is good enough to zip out the window, why would you have
the top up? If you have the top down, why would you want the window
unzipped?

You must have an ex-military MGB. They have all sorts of funny

It comes from "'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, didst gire and gimbol
in the wabe. All mimsy were the borograves, and the mowog outgrabe." I

in science.
