February 4, 2008 11:17 pm general chit chatAfter getting home from work and knowing that the love birds where coming over at 7:30 maccas was the clear choice for my dinner. It was raining so wife was going to drive me. We got in the car and drove around the corner, the car was making a funny noise, a noise like it had a flat tire.
I got out and checked, there was a flatty.
The car limped ack around the corner to home, where I leaped into ‘man mode’ i grabbed the jack and the metal thingy you use to undo the wheel nuts.
I got the hub cap off with a bit of force, then began to be masculine. The only problem I encountered was that I wasnt strong enough to make the nuts budge. Even standing on the bar thingy and jumping up and down they didnt move. This wheel wasnt coming off. To make it all the more pleasent it was raining too.
Anyway jenny rang her dad and after a while he came over to help. After quite a while of him breaking into a sweat and swearing without swearing the nuts still didnt budge. Eventually he tried the jumping up and down thing too and eventually the nuts came loose. During this process I ate my soggy maccas meal that prawn brought for me and held an umbrella over father in law. I managed to soak him once. wooops.
in the end jenny’s car has the spare wheel on and I have black stuff under my fingernails, looking at my hand it looks like i’m pretty tough. dont tell anyone that i wasnt strong enough.
I hope this black stuff comes off it makes my hands feel rough.

The “metal thing that undoes the nuts” is called a tyre iron.
And with that information, go forth and be manly!! Get dirt under the fingernails, burp the alphabet, make fart noises with your hands, and grunt in the face of any mechanical challenge!

I tried! I’m just not cut out for manly things that involve muscle. fart noises, burping drinking beer and cooking steak is all good but as as soon as my pasty white thin arms are required i fail
