RAY: Hi! We're back! You're listening to Car Talk with us, Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, and we're here to talk about cars, car repair and, uh, the answer to last week's historic Puzzler.

TOM: Yeah.

RAY: And here it is. Which of the following president's mothers, by her own admission, would say that she did not vote for her own son when he ran for the presidency of the United States? What kind of a mother would not vote for her own son?

TOM: And what were the choices?

RAY: John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

TOM: Oh, Rose might not have voted for her own son.

RAY: William Jefferson Clinton.

TOM: Didn't know he had a mother.

RAY: He does. Or Thomas, you didn't know that was his first name...

TOM: I did know that.

RAY: You did?

TOM: I know everyone whose name is Thomas.

RAY: Thomas Woodrow Wilson.

TOM: Yeah.

RAY: And I did give a hint that my teenage son, who is a brilliant student...

TOM: Yeah.

RAY: Did not know the answer. Did not get it, because it's out of his time frame.

TOM: Yeah.

RAY: And the answer is: Woodrow Wilson. Not because...

TOM: She didn't like him.

RAY: Woody's mother didn't like him. It's--believe it or not, for all you youngsters out there--until 1920, women were not allowed to vote in this country.

TOM: No!

RAY: And because Wilson's term ended before women had the right to vote, she could not have legally voted for her own son.

TOM: 1920?

RAY: 1920, I believe, is when women, yes, got the right to vote.

TOM: 1920! What barbarians! I mean, what kind of a democracy is this? All men are created equal, but not women!

RAY: Well, and that's exactly what the Constitution said: "All men."

TOM: All men. It said that. And it's specific. Parenthesis: (Not women.) Hey, Mabel! Where do you think you're going?

RAY: Who's our winner this week?

TOM: Wow! The winner is Lu Shirley. Mmm. And only judging from their handwriting, reading Lu--L-U--is female.

RAY: Oh, yeah. For, like, Lulu.

TOM: Lulu, yeah. She's from either Papillon or Papillon, Nebraska, and for having her answer selected at random from among the thousands of correct answers...
