My daily laugh, hubby's oil change...

[pats16v at columbus.rr.com (Erik)]

A few years ago I was removing a aftermarket alarm system from a Trans Am I
had just bought.  Well, while cutting the wires ou in the engine compartment
that were in knots around stuff one was we'll say pretty tough.  It didn't
look that big but man!  So being the way I am, when a tool doesn't get it go
get the next size up.  This time being cable cutters.  That got it out all
right.  After I was done I shut the hood went insude had a Pepsi.  Latr I
went back out tried to open the hood and fell on my ass pulling on the
release handle.  Yep you guessed it I cut the cable along with the wire.  Or
slipping off the side of Anson's driveway trying to avoid the ice.  I'm a
fool.
