True story. I worked at a 5K acre site for just shy of 33 years. Tons of buildings. A great cafeteria that had fantastic food for cheap.
One day I came out of the cafe with one of my friends. I was driving a 98 extended cab Chevy. Three cars up on the road was an Asian scientist getting out of a dark blue Lincoln. I even knew his name. Satoshi Ozaki. He was a big shot on site. As he was walking away he hit his fob to lock the car and set the alarm. As I got close to my truck I hit mine to unlock the doors. I set his alarm off. He goes over to the car and reset his alarm. Well, I couldnt resist. I set his alarm off again. He runs back and turned it off. I waited until he was just about to the door of the building and I set it off again. Again he ran back to shut it off. I think I did it at least 6-7 times. Me and my buddy were cryin !!!!! Sometimes its the simple things that make you laugh.

After putting it on jack stands, removing all the plastic covers, draining oil etc etc, I have decided to never do it again. It is worth the 125.00 at the quick oil change for them to do it in 30min. It took me most of the day. Same for cutting the lawn, across the street they do it in 15min (wife times them). It takes me the whole day and then she says" it only takes them 15min, you take all day and then, can't get up tomorrow!

Sometimes its the simple things that make you laugh.

My daughter bought a 1982 Buick Riviera from my repair shop guy's sister. Then I found out his sister had recently bought it from my PITA boss but didn't like it. My daughter said it took two bottles of Fabreeze to get the "old man/smoker" smell out. Anyway as I was doing something in it I found a garage door opener up under the sunvisor. I wondered- could it be his?!? So me and Crazy Pete grabbed a case of beer and parked across the street from his house one night. I pressed the opener and sure enough the garage door went up! Out he came to close it. We did this every half hour and every time he came out muttering we cracked another beer. He was getting more pissed every time he had to come out and close it. We were dying in Pete's car and we almost peed ourselves. Finally we ran out of beer and called it a night. The next day at work he wouldn't shut up about his crazy garage door that kept him up all night. :mrgreen:
