    I had a newbie come up to me one time and ask me where to put the brake fluid in because the breakdown department told him to go buy some and put in the truck.I asked him why he needed brake fluid and he said "thats what they told me to do after I told them the brakes were making a funny sound.I said it sounded like there was air in the lines".:biggrin_2556:......:biggrin_2559:
    I almost fell over laughing and just shook my head.He was driving a Freightliner.:biggrin_25525:

    I sold auto parts and told one of the drivers to go up stairs and get a 5 gal pail of sail boat fuel and deliver it.

    The movie review made me chuckle.




    Gator (1976) – Burt Reynolds became the king of the redneck movies by starring in films like Gator, the sequel to White Lightning. Gator McKlusky starts the movie by getting out of prison, which immediately earns him all kinds of redneck credibility. He also lives in a swamp and makes moonshine, something even Jeff Foxworthy wouldn’t have the guts to do. But before he can help the feds nab a corrupt politician, he’ll have to deal with the seedy Bama McCall (Jerry Reed) and his 7’3” bodyguard named Bones (William Engesser). And if all that wasn’t redneck enough, the film is co-directed by James Best, the man better known as Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane on The Dukes of Hazzard.

    Not to worry. I have a whole lot of stupid answers!:yes2557:

    I grew up in a small supermarket. Used to send the new bag boys to the back room to get the paper bag stretchers when we would have a large order come through the check stand!

    I had one new guy shaking all the salad dressing bottles on the shelf because "the customers won't buy it if it looks like it is separated.":biggrin_2559:
