As soon as the jokes started to come about the big shoe or fried clams he said, “I knew it—this is why I waited till now to talk about it. Now there will be a bunch of calls on the Chump Line tomorrow about it.”
Readers of the Globe’s site and people on Free Republic were aware of the situation before Howie’s show. Howie explained that it was probably bald tires and a slick road that caused it. He noted that the Globe reporter had
asked if alcohol was involved “and I bet they were disappointed it wasn’t”. When someone brought up fried
clams he said, “it was 8:30 on a Sunday morning, who’s eating fried clams then?” The bit about the “marked
lanes violation: ‘it was a warning,’ says Howie.
Howie’s Acura will be in the shop for a couple weeks; as I noted; Howie Carr is fine, Howie’s car...not so fine.
