On the phone, any question prefaced with ;
…uh, dad ?..
OR…
“Dad…I’m alright!!!”
Another one of my favorites is along the lines of…“when I pull out of my driveway, my engine kills”.
Really? What type of weapon did it use?
How many people has it killed?
Has your engine simply been charged with manslaughter, or has the DA decided to upgrade the charge to murder?
I have to assume that these folks are attempting to tell us that their engine “dies” under certain circumstances, but I tend to avoid responding when the OP is severely language-impaired.
The vehicle owner was trying to describe a hesitation,jerking sensation when using the term “Hucklebuck”
If you have ever had water contamination in your fuel system, this is how the vehicle behaved.
kb0001, what did it mean in the Army?
This may be a little off topic, but before I was a mechanic I worked in a tire shop where we did a lot of truck tires. One night one of our good customers, a young owner-operator, drove around the back of the shop in his truck tractor, and without hopping out or anything, hollered, “Yo! Put a NYLON on it!”
Before I could say a word he roared away, diesel engine wailing like crazy. I’m thinking, What the hell is a “nylon”, & what does he mean by “it”? I had been inside, and didn’t know he had just dropped off the dump trailer that was now sitting outside the shop.
I knew the guy hauled soybeans, & there were some laying in the back of the empty trailer, and I started surmising that most non-radial truck tires, which was what this guy ran, were of nylon construction, as opposed to polyester, or fiberglass, etc. Then I looked at the 8 tires on the back of the trailer. 7 were just barely serviceable, & one of the outers was bald. I started thinking that must be the wheel that needed the “nylon” on it.
My boss agreed & told me to just do the one tire. It took longer to do the work than to figure out what the guy wanted done.
I remember on time I was doing a used car check out and I wrote “all brakes good”. Well my handwriting was off a bit and the advisor asked what “6oo D” ment.
Gotta love that question, too: “Uh…which part of my car is missing?”
And mleich’s reply: “Houston, we have a problem!”
Wat?!
We park all the cars/trucks in the back…
and the kid walks in the front door…
…uh…dad ?
