'member the "don't ask how I know this" thread?

Propane BBQ lids open very fast and with alot of energy if you leave them down, turn on gas and push the ignition button! My mom's friend would say don't ask her how she know's that!( first time with new gas grill!)

If you don't have saw horse on site the tailgate might work...

If you forget this step... DO NOT forget you only have 100' to remember what you did. If you forget this step don't worry at 104' the build in speed bump reminder will make you remember.   ahem...someone once "TOLD" me

Well, a stack of half rotted wood pallets topped with an iron lawn chair is NOT a suitable replacement for a ladder......especially if ones attempts to extend the usefulness of the "idea" by standing on the armrests of the chair.

If the starter button goes out on your tractor, don't bypass the clutch safety switch so you can jump across the starter with a screwdriver.This becomes a problem if you forget to take the tractor out of gear when you do use this method of starting the tractor (especially if you give it 3/4 throttle). It will take off eventually going in circles side swiping one car and later coming to rest on top of the hood of a Grand Prix and pushing the car into the house before it will choke the tractor out. Don't ask me how I know this........ask my dad how he knows this. After all the carnage, the 185 escaped with only a scuff to the paint on the front weights. Surprisingly, the Grand Prix wasn't totaled out(it was close tho), the other car was( wasn't alot of damage but it was a $900 car so it didn't take much). The house also escaped with only very minor damage due to the fact that the basement wall, 10" concrete, took the brunt of the impact. Somewhere there are pictures of this incident. I will post them if I can locate them. Needless to say, this wasn't one of my dads shining moments.

If you don't want to retrieve your grill cover two houses down and across the street, make sure you puncture the lid for your beans before putting the can on your grill to heat them up. Don't even bother looking for the burgers.

we oughta do this about once a month or so.  don't think i've ever laughed out loud so much in a room by myself... until other people come in to see what's going on.

Ad on Jay Leno's "Headlines" Monday night; "Best offer on new Kenmore range, must be put back together after falling out of a pickup on highway."
Must have been an interesting sight, especially if someone was following fairly closely behind!

i was probably 17 or so and purchased a pair of "cherrybomb" mufflers to install on my ford truck. "heat treating" the mufflers before installing to burn up all the fiberglass inside was a must do. well here's how it goes, dump gas into the mufflers and roll them around to get the gas soaked into the fiberglass packing. a friend of mine decided to help, he held the muffler from the top while i lit from the bottom.............well he wasn't supposed to look  down the  threw when i hit the lighter, needless to say once in awhile i still call him singed!!! lmao

A customer of mine was mowing the road side ditch and hit a propane cylinder someone thru out, set the mower on fire and he went to the hospital with very bad burns.

Fun fact, did you know a knee can be dislocated and bent sideways? Oh, and another fun fact, did you know it can be extremely difficult to extract oneself from a pile of half rotted wooden pallets and iron lawn chair while hanging upside down from the tower by one leg, dislocated at the knee and bent sideways stuck in iron lawn chair, with only head and elbows resting on the ground, not to mention just a little bit painful? Oh ya, one other fun fact, did you know wives and daughters can be extremely cruel......actually laughing at people hanging from a pile of half rotted wooden pallets with a iron lawn chair stuck on top, by one leg, bent sideways at dislocated knee? Don't ask how I know!

YEEEAWOOO! Red neck stacking big time.

 If the LP vehicle doesn't run and you disconnect the LP hose, there is a little spring loaded valve in there to keep the LP from coming out.  If you use a screwdriver to push that little valve to see if there is any LP in the tank, and there is LP in the tank, it will come out and  freeze your face off .


It's no disgrace to be dumb, but it's unhandy as hell.
