My ten ton mini ram (to lift the item) is about 1/6" too tall.

Let some air out of its tires. d8-)

yeah, the first thing i thought of was an old joke about two farmers
sawing a slot in the top of a doorway for the ears of their too-tall mule.

i can't remember it exactly and i couldn't find it on line.

something about some guy maybe a traveling salesman comes upon two farmers
sawing a slot in the top of the doorway of their barn so they can get
their too-tall mule in. the salesman asks them why they don't just dig
away some dirt below the door and the farmers reply indignantly "we didn't
say his legs were too long, we said his ears were too tall!" or something
like that. at the time that joke cracked me up.

I love those stories. My banker told me one the other day that made me think
of it. He swears it's a true story, and an old one.

A truck got stuck going into the Holland Tunnel. Police came, a tow truck
came...they couldn't pull it back, because the front of the trailer was
crushed into the top of the tunnel and jammed pretty good.

A schoolbus passed by in the open lane, windows open. A schoolgirl leaned
out and said, "Let some air out of the tires." Which they did, and extracted
the truck.

I love it. I hope it's true.
