Okay, just something I thought was funny. So a guy that I’ve done small engine work for for years brought over his Craftsman 28 inch/9 HP snowblower back in October. He wanted to get it running and then sell it. As it happens, “Dave”, the guy who lives directly behind me, had repeatedly told me he was tired of his single-stage Toro and wanted to upgrade to a 2 stage machine. And he needed to upgrade, his driveway was WAY to big for the ol Toro Teaspoon.
So I facilitated a deal between the 2 parties and everybody’s happy.
Well Dave finally got to use his “new” machine on Saturday and man did he love it. He came over and was raving about how awesome it was to finally have enough power to clean up the driveway and FAST.
Then he says, “Come over and check out what I did…”
I go over to his garage and here he’s bought stick-on letters and down the side of the chute on both sides, he christened his new machine with a name:
Monica.
He’s like, “Get it? This thing blows like Monica Lewinsky, so I named her Monica. Get it?”
Yeah, awesome Dave. You probably have too much time on your hands, but whatever blows your snow.
So he stops over on Sunday to borrow a wrench and I told him make sure you use non-ox gas in Monica and he got all embarrassed and says, “Yeah, don’t call the snowblower ‘Monica’ in front of Jen (his wife).”
She saw the new name and instantly made him take the lettering off. I guess she didn’t think it was funny. After he left, I was just chuckling to myself for hours imagining how THAT conversation went.
No bad joke goes unpunished.
