    having sex with a fat chick is like riding a moped, its a lot of fun until your friends catch you riding one.

    I remembered these

    At work I always here:
    "He could pull a vacuum on an onion sack." or
    "He could pull a vacuum on a 5 acre field with one strand of barbed wire around it."

    I won't say who they are refering too. It might hurt his feelings.:D

    What about nervous? "He's as nervous as a cat crapping barb wire." "She's as nervous as a prositute in church." (Both have been cleaned up so that Boop can read them).:D

    Cleaned Up

    Thanks guys, the Boop don't mis out on any of these discussions. She reads them all and usually comments and laughs. Can't get her to give her input because she says she's a girl and we know more than her. She's pretty sharp though (heavy on the pretty) and picks up this stuff fast. You ought to see her work, you would think she had been doing this stuff for years.

    She's my side kick, second pair of hands and a great encourager when I get put out with something that just wont go right.

    She seems to understand much of what she reads on here and gets a lot of laughs as well...

    Not bad for a 16 year old preachers daughter,,,, the gun I wear at my second job helps with the boys......... not many come around..... for some reason that don't seem to make me too mad :D

    Problem

    You know,,, for the life of me, I can't seem to figure out why that little piece of plastic and metal make the boys so nervous... :eek:

    I'm about convinced that it is just the fact that they arn't comfortable with a GIRL who is a better mechanic than they are :D :D

    Better Mechanic

    This is for the Boop(TB's D can read it too)

    I graduated from Nashville Auto Diesel College and in my graduating class was this girl from New York. This girl had a 1985 Cutlass with a blown 350 in it that she built by herself (so she claimed). I went through school thinking why in the world would a girl want to be a mechanic. Well after our engine build class I can see why. She produced the engine with the most H.P. and Torque than any one of us guys did. So just because you're a girl doesn't mean that you can't work on cars. I learned a lot from that girl. Never judge anyone by the way they look or what gender they are, because they just might be smarter than you. So any input or questions you have, don't be afraid to post. I don't think anyone on this forum is judgemental, and if they are then they don't belong here. I think that cars are just like women, very complex. And sometimes it takes someone with a very complex mind to point out to us some of the most obvious problems that we just can't see.

    So with that said, I'm looking forward to any post you may write from here on!!. Just a few encouraging words.

    :D

    I heard another one today I haven't heard in a while. My team leader told our service manager that "he was harder to get rid of than a case of the crabs". I thought that was pretty funny myself.

    Yeah, women are like cars except:
    1) Cars don't mind when you visually undress another car.
    2) Cars don't mind when you take anohter car for a test drive just to see how it feels.
    3)Cars don't mind when you give them a bath. Wait, women don't mind that either.
    4)

    Here We Go :

    You old car's parents don't ever call you up and say how you were it's best owner and they're very sorry you junked it .

    :D

    I could go on but since there's a lday reading all this I'll stop now .

    As far as kids , one needn't carry a gun , just keep a baseball bat by the front door and make sure any younster who comes sniffing 'round knows there's standards at this house , works just fine ~ I raised up my son in the very worst part of town and many of the women I dated after my divorce had daughters just reaching dating age ~ I made a point of greeting any and all suitors , we never had problem one .

    I let my son choose his own dates and didn't stick my nose in as I trust his judgement but many times when he was a teeneger a girl would stop me and ask if it was O.K. for her to date my boy . I always had the same answer :
    ' Jr. can date whomever he pleases . just remember , that's my baby boy and if you break his heart , I'll hunt you down and rip your head off and deficate in the neck hole ' . (cleaned up for Boop)

    Only one or two didn't go on to date him after that little speech .

    My favorite to say to my coworkers is: "It's hard to soar like an eagle, when you work with a bunch of turkeys!"
