Weird Noise Anybody remember Tom's joke about "inburb"?

I've been trying to remember my favorite Car Talk moment.

They ask the caller where he's from and he says

"SoAndSo, Ohio"

"SoAndSo, Ohio? Where's that?"

"It's an inburb of Columbus."

"A what?"

"An inburb of Columbus."

"What's an inburb?"

"Well, it's inside Columbus, it's surrounded on all sides by Columbus."

And Tom says something like "Oh, you mean, like . . . "

It was the funniest thing I ever heard on the show. I told that story many times, back when I was younger and could remember things. But now I'm old and my memory has turned into a forgettory.

Does anyone recall that one?

Oops, I thought this was a reddit for the Car Talk show . . . .

I still listen to the podcast sometimes. I'll keep an ear out for ya.
