Default Working under a jacked vehicle

I had two touring busses almost land on me. The first time the
supporting wooden blocks shifted and it only "fell off the jack".
Second time, the jack stand transferred the weight of the buss to one
cobble stone, which then "sank". I heard the creak and rolled out
from under it, just as it dropped. Happened so fast, I didn't even
have time to get scared.


_Bus-ercize_ the instant way to a thinner you!


In those days, I was so skinny I had to run around in the shower
to get wet.
After that "exercise routine", I was much more careful. I figured
I'd had about as much of such excitement as I could stand for one
lifetime.

We will drink no whiskey before its nine.
It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!
