Remember those little tiger tails that Esso handed out?  You'd loop the
elastic strap on the end around your gas cap, then let it poke out from
under the door as if there really was a tiger in your tank.

In one of Red Skelton's skits, his character, Sheriff Deadeye, was going
to partake in a native ritual which involved drinking a potion made from,
among other things, panther drool.  Deadeye quipped, while patting his belly:
"I may not have a tiger in my tank, but I'll have a panther in my pot."
