Out in the parking lot at work, swapping in my old 105amp spare alternator (that my Boss just brought in for me....I'd loaned it to him), and I hear a voice from behind me saying "This is classic. Hanging over your engine in the parking lot with a lit cigarette."

My BOSS'* BOSS. Thank GOD Jeannie has a good sense of humor and was totally distracted by my engine. She didn't utter a peep about working on the car in the lot (strictly forbidden by hp), but probably also because it was Obvious my boss knew I was going to, since he brought my spare alt in to work this morning.

She walked away chuckling. Low-fat Alternator for lunch. And not a word about my work tools spread all over my engine.

That is just too funny Bill!!!!

i can just see you doing that....

You HAVE seen me doing that. Both of you. The only difference this time is that I didn't have any beer!

I knew there was something missing from the story!!!

And now we know......the rest of the story.
Good one Bill, that is funny!

I would guess that the beer is also forbidden?

No beer, no working on cars, how do you manage all day will?

I thought you always need a beer when you work on cars Bill.
I didn't think you function right w/o one.

I had to rush the job so the brain couldn't figure out it wasn't being impaired. 5 minute Alternator swap was the result.

It didn't work. I have the jitters now.

10 more minutes and I'll be home, drinkin' beer and pissin' foam.
