How to Change Your Oil & Flies

Women:

1. Pull up to Mr. Lube 3000 miles after the last oil change.

2. Drink a cup of coffee.

3. Fifteen minutes later, write a check and leave with a properly maintained vehicle.


Men:

1. Go to NAPA auto parts and write a check for 50 dollars for oil, filter, kitty litter, hand cleaner and scented tree.

2. Discover that the used oil container is full. Instead of taking it back to NAPA to recycle, dump in hole in back yard.

3. Open a beer and drink it.

4. Jack car up. Spend 30 minutes looking for jack stands.

5. Find jack stands under kid's pedal car.

6. In frustration, open another beer and drink it.

7. Place drain pan under engine.

11. Drop drain plug in pan of hot oil; get hot oil on hand in the process.

12. Clean up.

13. Have another beer while oil is draining.

14. Look for oil filter wrench.

15. Give up; poke oil filter with Phillips head screwdriver and twist it off.

16. Beer.

17. Buddy shows up. Finish case with him. Finish oil change tomorrow.

18. Next day, drag pan full of old oil out from underneath car, dump in hole in back yard.

19. Throw kitty litter on oil spilled during steps 11, 15, & 18.

20. Beer. No, drank it all yesterday.

22. Install new oil filter making sure to apply thin coat of clean oil to gasket first.

23. Dump first quart of fresh oil into engine.

24. Remember drain plug from step 11.

25. Hurry to find drain plug in drain pan. Pan is empty. Find drain plug in back yard hole.

27. Slip with wrench and bang knuckles on frame.

28. Bang head on bumper in reaction.

29. Begin cussing fit.

30. Throw wrench.

Flies

A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Hunting flies" he responded.

"Oh. Killing any?" she asked.

"Yep, 3 males and 2 females." he replied.

Intrigued, she asked, "How can you tell them apart?"

He responded, "3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone."

Wow, that whole oil change thing was educational. I was thinking of learning to do this, but maybe I'll pass. I can't afford the beer.

Hi Raggedy -- Are all your Friday Feast items true? I'm glad you're a vet, thanks. I am too.

Your fillet and lobster tail look sooooo good. That was our best honeymoon meal, at The Old San Francisco Steak House in San Antonio.

I used to change oil in our cars until I got to feeling too old to do that. I still do it for the 1950 Ford.

Hang in there with your procedures. I'm been praying for you a long time and will continue.

Hi Raggedy, good jokes (the first one WAS a joke wasn't it?) sorry to read you have been having medical problems.. get well.

Men often do make things harder than they need to be. We females just want to get the job done quickly and without messing up our hair or nails. :-)

My hubby laughs at me when I use the fly swatter.
I usually miss the fly my first couple of tries and end up chasing it around waiting for it to land again.
