Just need to vent...

like 'intercourse', 'pregnant', and 'abortion', it's hard to use some words in polite company

 

In the 80s we had a somewhat naive criminal procedure Professor make a reference to mean one revealing their whole defense by using a shotgun phrase. He made the statement,
"they just shot their whole wad"
one smart alec in the lecture hall said loud enough for others to hear,
"I beg your pardon?"
Poor guy, laughter broke out

 

Okay...got another terrible report about our local Toyota Dealership. (Which changed owners and name about 5 years ago and has gone seriously downhill)

My friend is the service advisor at a local car repair place (and he's a mechanic but has a bad back...don't all mechanics have that?) Anyway, he had a 5-year old Highlander asking to have his SUV looked at. When asked why, he said he had just gotten the oil change at the above Toyota dealership and, get this, was advised to have the seal in his front Timing Chain replaced because of "the mileage" Yep, apparently you should replace a timing chain seal at a certain mileage! (Only $1,800....want us to start on that for you????)

Can you believe that?

 

Well, I chose to have the timing belt replaced on my 2000 Tundra last year because I did not want to depend on such old rubber. sometimes being proactive pays.

 

While shepherds in Jewry were guarding their sheep,
Promiscuously seated, estrangèd from sleep,
An angel from Heaven presented to view,
And thus he accosted the trembling few:
"Dispel all your sorrows, and banish your fears,
For Jesus your Savior in Jewry appears.​
