My dad taught me that one when I was very young. When I was the manager over the Tire and Lube Express, I was the only one who had NEVER stripped a drain pan by turning the plug the wrong way :aj:
Thanks Dad!
I was tought that too, and it works real good until you have left hand threads. (did a head job on a nissan 280z where I broke 2 head bolts before I realized they were left hand threads :bang: )MXGirl230 said:

I think I got this on DRN somewhere: "If it's broke, I can fix it. If it ain't broke, I can fix that too." :)

My friend Robert says "Hotter than donut grease", about certain wimmins.
A tad off topic:
I read in a Readers Digest once, regarding Marine Recruits:
"Give a Recruit 4 steel ball bearings and lock him in a room with padded walls; in an hour he will have lost one and broke the other."
How do you know a fighter pilot has entered the room? He'll tell you.
How many fighter pilots does it take to screw in a lightbulb? One. He holds it up while the world revolves around him.

One of my favorites:
I'm out like a fat kid in a dodgeball tournament

Ok, I'll admit it, I don't get the marine one. If I had to guess, I'd say the other two are in his pants, yes?
I was working on the engine in my truck several years ago and couldn't find a hole for something. My grandpa says "Well, paint some hair around it and you'll probably find it."

Happiness is not having what you want, its wanting what you have.
That man is tighter than a ducks ass ( about a tight wad )
If it weren't for the rain you wouldn't appreciate the sunshine
Don't spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar
If you don't try, you won't know
The way to a mans heart is through his stomach. The way to a womans is through your wallet
When you're over the hill, you just go faster
The path of the single man meanders through meadows and near bright streams, the path of the married man is long and dusty and leads straight to the grave ( from an 18th century poet).
Thats about as much use as a chocolate fireguard
Thats as much use as tits on a boar

My grandfather's reaction to anyone who every hurt themselves doing anything:
"If you're gonna be stupid...
You gotta be tough!"
(if you hit your finger with a hammer...see above; fall off your bike going down the driveway...above; tried to start your KX250 with flip flops on and ended up in the ER...see above; you get the picture) :)

Slicker then slime off a Louisiana swamp.
For my kids......Once I thought that I was wrong , but I was mistaken.
From my wife..... Watch it mister your replaceable. :)
I’m not weird, I’m Unique.
Did that hurt right away or did it take a while?
From my best man at our wedding ....It hurts about as much as sliding down a ten foot razor blade into a pool of iodine.
Also from my wife when I proposed..... Are your serious?

"Nuke a gay whale for Jesus" I heard it somewhere
"If you are going to act like a retard ill put you in the back room so you can pick fly **** out of pepper with boxing gloves" Mr. Smith - High school shop teacher
" Dont drink and drive you might spill your drink" Another one from Smith
On the subject of nut torque " tighten it till it strips and back off half a turn"
"Pass the gas wrench" Shop saying
"Go to parts and get me some red tail light fluid, muffler bearings, a long stand or a flux capicitor" Said to a new co-op studend or apprentice
"They are in the basement" another shop saying
I have a lot more but I cant remember them
