winch salesman: “…Now this’n here’s a Warn electric, the best you can buy, in my opinion—spring-loaded control switches, 4 Solenoids for emergency back up, Planetary gears, 12’ remote, color-coded cables… You’ll get a really smooth line pull with this particular model, which uses a 4 Roller Fairlead and comes complete with 125’ of cable –”
Kerry: “– Yeah yeah yeah, cables, roller thingies, whatever. What I need to know is, does it come in red white and blue?”
winch salesman: “Well, I suppose you can have somebody paint it –”
Kerry: “– Come to think of it, maybe I should just buy one of those ‘Dukes of Hazard’ cars instead. Rednecks really love that show. Tell me, is there, like, a store for those, do you know…?”
No self respecting four wheel drive vehicle should be without a winch. After all, much as you never know when you might have to throw it into 4-wheel low to rescue some poor stranded little old lady from the middle of a muddy field, you never know when you’re going to need to drag an unexpectedly discovered tree from the middle of the road.

Nope.
I actually own a Warn winch (for my ATV,) and Kerry still won’t get my vote!
Kerry: “Winch? WINCH??? Sir, how dare you insult my wife. I will have my staisfaction. Pistols at dawn, sir, and ensure you have a second present.”

It’s all a giant misunderstanding. Actually, the original quote was:
It’s been great for the winch industry, though.
