Where Are the Other Five Blind Men?

Tom Toles, 3/20/12:
Don't believe the evidence of your eyes -- that's not an elephant, it's a car carrier!

And I assume there's a "let Detroit go bankrupt" joke lurking somewhere in there, but I'm damned if I can find it.

  2. Paul: Ahhh! That would do it! I was thinking "car carrier" as in those skeletal trucks that carry 8-10 cars to auto dealers, not a box on the roof for a dog.

    (A quick Google shows that most people take "car carrier" to be a thing that carries cars; perhaps this is a Toles-ism.)
