I watched my ex-bro's-in-law do concrete work like that. Their forms wouldn't have held back packing peanuts.

Now I know why Dad always told me the beers are for AFTER the job...

LOL That's funny. I'm a girl and I change the oil like a man... Although no beer, it's Jack and Coke. Especially the screwdriver part. That's how I had to get it off of my old truck... LOL. Every guy I know keeps telling me to go to Jiffy Lube to get it done. I'd like to have my oil filter on all the way though, tends to keep the oil in the car better that way.

The oil change one is funny, but, not true for me. I have the same emergency bag of kitty litter unopened for 10 years. I do a full synthetic change for about 22 bucks (I'm a light weight 3 beers and I'm done).

The ATM one is funny too, but, I wouldn't know about. I never use cash any more. Online banking, direct deposit and plastic cards. Can not remember the last time I was at the bank.

Keep this stuff coming though, its good for a laugh!

good sh*t... although i just go on base where i can use a car lift for easier access to oil plug and filter, and it only cost $3.50 an hour to use the lift, and i get to change the oil my self....
the only time ive not changed my oil my self is on long distance 2000mi trips, and then the next time you go to take your plug & filter off, its BEEF CAKED on there by the dumass that put it on w/ an air gun, and you end up rounding the plug and getting frustrated w/ the filter
