I need a bulb for the horn on my car and as it is vintage car there is none made for the last 20 years
In fact bulb horns went out in the 1926 and the old one was totally perished.
I asked around friends if they knew of a supply of this very rare object.
It was just a large rubber bulb that fitted on the end of the vintage cars air horn and when you squeezed it went KKLLAAARRRK ? like a goose in great pain.
Well it was several weeks till a lady told me that a chemist shop might help but did not elaborate on what it might be off.
I asked around other friends and soon found out the article I wanted it was called? A boogie and its use was used for a medical purpose but they did not elaborate on what it was used for.
So green as grass and only 18 years old I bowled into the chemists shop and asked the attractive young lady attendant? for a boogie.? She seemed embarrassed and said
"I had better ask the? chemist"
and called the boss over.
I again asked for a boogie and the chemist asked me what I wanted it for.
I in my innocence said I wanted it for my horn.
The chemist grinned widely and said
“Do you know what a boogie is used for”
“No sir”
“It used for relieving constipated people of their hardened poohs”
At this I was getting rather embarrassed and asked if I could see one.
When he produced the article it appeared to have all sorts of bits that fitted to the end of a large rubber bulb.
It was used to inject soapy water in unmentionable placed to relieve constipation.
“You say you wanted it for your horn”
“Yes sir its for my car “
“Ahh your car horn” he replied with some relief.
The rubber bulb was just what I wanted and after it was wrapped up I exited the chemist shop not daring to look the lovely young lady assistant in the eye.
After that I threw the accessories away and attached the bulb to the cars horn.
Well from then on every time I blew this horn it reminded me of a loud FAARRT? rather than a goose in great pain.
