Ebels are a lot like women that lack a low cut dress that zips up the side...neither get the love that they deserve...

Also - the radiator arrived today, so I’ll have Cletus, our in-house Concierge Mechanic, clock in after Coffee Hour tomorrow morning.

I’m told Coffee Hour is actually 90 minutes because Cletus… he’s no good at fractions.

And, finally, Sterling Moss is said to have been reliably expected to jump any start in the old days of Le Mans when drivers would run out to their cars, jump in, and haul ass off into a 24hr endurance race. If the count down was 3-2-1, Sterling was gone by the “eeew” sound of “two” and all the other drivers followed…

I have visions of Carol Shelby muttering out loud to Roy Salvadori in a full Texan drawl, “GaaaaawDAMNit, Sterling!”

Glad you found some work for Cleatus. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)
True story. Way back, when I worked in restaurants, I had an employee named Joe Hobbs. Now, Joe wasn't a bad guy at all--a real sweet guy, really. But, saying that Joe wasn't ever going to split the atom was understating things. He was, possibly, the stupidest fellow I'd ever met. One day I was writing in the previous day's sales into the ledger (remember having to write things down?) and he walked up. "Hey, John, doing some 'rythmatic?" I said I was. Joe then said, "I used to be real good at 'rythmatic. Then I got to them there fractions."

One day not long after he came dashing into the store on his day off, totally out of breath. Ricky, the other assistant manager, grabbed him and tried to calm him down. Joe Hobbs was overly upset that Hulk Hogan had lost his title in Wrestler-Mania.

Poor guy
The Hulk is the bestest. No way to divide that.
