How do I get this tool to work? WTF! or THE WHIPPED THREAD
« on: February 18, 2008, 11:57:29 AM »
My motorcycle friend from two houses down can't come over on Saturday to lift my engine out and move it to the workbench because:

Tool (er, I mean friend):  "Well, we didn't do anything on Valentines day, so my wife wants to do something on Sunday"

Me : "..."

Tool: So anyway I can't help today because she'll be home from work soon and I gotta do a buncha s**t so she doesn't complain that we gotta do it tomorrow instead of Valentines day"

Me: "okaay, how bout Monday?"

Tool: "Well, I'll ask (calls back later) I gotta stay around and help out with the kid Monday because I guess she's got a thing with her girlfriends Monday night"

Me: "Umm, right.  You know we're talking about ten minutes here..."


Tool:  Yeah, I know... Maybe I'll see about Tuesday.  Probably Tuesday'll be alright, I'll ask later..."




I like this friend and all, but man has the quality of his life taken a dive in the last two years IMOP...

I would not call that person a friend - if he/she only lives two doors away and cannot spare 10 minutes... then I would not bother with much further contact.

Sounds like he's wipped himself into a little box of subservience.

He's got a V-max with an aftermarket 'Go-even-Faster' switch. 

Maybe I'll let him borrow it sometimes in exchange for helping me move heavy s**t.

Some women carry purses to hold a bunch of needless #$%*, like this dudes ball bag.  Too bad for him.  A long time ago my wife asked me what I was getting her for Valentines day, I replied "groceries"

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Hey Greg, sorry I was away from the forum for a bit.  The wife has TONS of stuff keeping me busy.  :D

Seriously, I teach tonight (Tuesday), but I could get free for a bit on Wed or  Thur evening.  For that matter, I'm off from work all day Thur, so we could do this during the day if you prefer.  Give me a call...before my wife says I have to work on HER bike.  ;D
