Technical When changing plugs and wires

We ultimately had to cut my ring off before my finger would heal.

There are a lot of ways to spark yourself with a car battery. I imagine that someone could do that while changing plugs if they tried hard enough. Its funny every time I short one out I jump right out of my shoes. You would think that after all these years it would not startle me.

 

It's all fun and games, till someone gets hurt. Then, it's hilarious.

 

Fred that's some really funny stuff, I've never taken my battery cables off to change my plugs or wires, but after seeing that I think I will. And one of those electronic fly swatters will bring a grown man down.

 

"I'll just see if I can pass these cables under the table here"...F*cking priceless!!!

 

My son used to think I was too serious about using PPE when I work on my car, until I showed him some work place incident photos. No shame in my game.

 

I remember high school shop class when a student got his class ring shorted to a starter terminal. He was burned pretty bad.

 

I was cutting a broken retaining collar for a 9 inch hydraulic cylinder shaft using the torch on the service truck. I told the guy I was working with to go back to the shop and get a new collar set. I had the torch going and ear muffs on. Suddenly the torch was pulled out of my hand. I pulled off the helmet and watched the guy driving the service truck across the yard dragging the still burning torch.

 

In high school auto shop we had some students who didn't have a car and always got in the way. We sent one to the parts store a block away to get a water pump for a Volkswagen. He didn't come back. Then the guy from the parts store called saying he's called all the warehouses and can't find one. The instructor told him that Volkswagens are air cooled and don't have a water pump.

 

When I got married I was working at a chevy dealer as a mechanic, I came to work the Monday after the wedding wearing my new wedding ring and the old timers told me either get rid of that ring or get get rid of that wife!

 

Well...............?

 

I kept the wife and got rid of the ring!

 

ROFL!!!
