I wasn't actually trying to pick on the OP this time, but to make a 
joke.  Jimmy is the common nickname model of an SUV (truck/car), by 
General Motors. Idle could be taken two ways (if it weren't for the 
capitalization), or even three  (My Chevy won't idle.).

My father used to tell a triple pun involving the John Deere, and I 
can't recall it.

It's been said that puns are the lowest form of humor, but I rather like 
them.
