There is something that appeals to me about randomness. I'm not entirely sure what really, perhaps just the fact that it's not planned, but still feels right. . .
Anyway, I thought I would share some of the random stuff that has lightened up my day here at work.
The mechanic and I decided that the next Lamborghini should be called the Lamborghini Gesundheit,
with this nifty little motto being used to advertise : "0 - 60 faster than you can sneeze."
Sometimes you run across a tire extremely stubborn due to the fact that the last idiot who had worked on it had tighten the lug nuts far too much. In this case, an impacter wrench won't be able to budge it. What you do then is get a big socket wrench thing, (professionally called a "breaker bar") and manually loosen the nut.
In this case, it was super overtightened. The only way I could loosen them was by standing on top of the wrench, and jumping on it. My boss and the mechanic watched with some amusement. My boss then gave me a hand with finishing up. I then explained that, compared to the two of them, I was quite handicapped. After all, I weigh in at a measly 150 pounds. This then caused my boss to buy us all donuts. I gotta say that this could be a card in my deck that I haven't ever considered playing. I'll have to see if I can get us Pizza sometime. . .
I kept singing this song to myself while I was doing tires, it was really kind of calming actually:
I hope that this post may lighten up your day a bit too.

Haha! Loved it! Especially the intelligent looking orchestra playing that song, and me imagining you singing it... :-)
ReplyDeleteRandomness makes life fun! What a fun little random song--a perfect score for a perfectly random post.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness. My day has just been made.
ReplyDeleteActually.
:D
Ha! Who needs trampolines when you've got tight lug nuts? I think randomness is appealing because we tend to find the unexpected amusing.
ReplyDeleteGreat name for the Lamborghini, btw.
