Learn to fix your engines at home.

[sandy daugherty]

Lesson One: Buy a footlocker. Put an engine in it. Step in with a box of tools. Kneal down. Fix engine without standing up.
Lesson Two: Place engine in manhole in street. Fix engine while lying on street. Watch out for traffic. Don't drop any tools; you can't retrieve them, and you don't have duplicates.
Lesson Three: (Environmental conditions) Buy large freezer chest and rocking chair. Discard chair, mount chest on rockers. Add engine. Chill over night. Step in, have friend close lid and rock chest. He will let you out when the engine is fixed.
Advanced Points test. Suspend engine, toolbox and self from burning ropes. (if you guessed no one has ever passed this test, you are correct.)

Those are too true to be funny.

Hard to improve on that curriculum.

I keep repeating lesson 2 but the street is on the rocking chair legs.

There once was a proctologist who wanted to become an auto mechanic. After years at mechanic school and being held back several times for failing the final exam, rebuilding an engine, he finally graduated. The dean came up and congratulated him and said, "thats the first time I have seen anyone rebuild an engine by going through the exhaust pipe"

That's great!

Do you get extra credit for having you spouse/child/friend/etc ask you if you need any help, have everything, want a snack, or think you can do it?

I think you really should. A little levity never hurts during serious study.
