Dwight,

Thanks for the contribution to the thread but more importantly thank you for your service to our country. Looks like a great day.

My son, AJ was a Marine mostly in Subic Bay, Philippines from '89-93, his last 6 months at Pickle Meadows, CA. Anyway his Philippines Marines reunion is in Boise this weekend and he is in charge.

I wanted him to tell this story; AJ had been home to Boise about a year after his discharge. Lucille and I had sold our Boise home and we were staying at AJ's house with his wife and our 1st grandson, waiting for our house to be finished in Garden Valley. One night at 2am, Lucille got a bad cramp in her leg. I went down the stairs to the kitchen to get her a glass of water. On my way back, AJ comes running out of his bedroom and asked what was going on. I told him that mom had cramps. Him being the former Marine didn't quite get it right. He said,"Mom has crabs, Mom has crabs"?. I said no, you idiot, CRAMPS. Oh, he said. We laughed a long time.

Ah,yes...crabs,something that stays with you for a while!!!!

I heard the Cutters Insect Repellent kills them. Not speaking from experience...................

I apologize in advance, but the humor in the full sense of the word toilet.

A few days ago I went to visit a girl,
she promised a lot of delicious food.
When I arrived, it turned out that an hour before my arrival
the toilet system was crammed - piece of mandarin peel somewhere stuck,
plus the girl was wash off the pressed sawdust for the cat.



I will explain - she lives on the 5th floor of a 10-storey building.
The flushing system is such:





Naturally, there was no time to call plumbers,
because after 2 hours girl was necessary to run to work.
So I took off the toilet and climbed there with my hands,
first I scooped up via hands, then I climbed my shoulder
to the sewer, then I stopped pulling my hands, then I took
a tablespoon (lacked arm length + shoulder could not plunge
into the hole). Then I had to take my Randall #10-5 and punched
the cork manually. It turned out that the mandarin crust
stood sideways and sawdust rested in it,
and it all happened because a rag was washed from the main
pipe from the top floor, which was hooked on the tee.
As soon as I pulled it all out, a very strong stink from
the main pipe went, it's a good sign, because indicates
that there is a passage to the main pipe.

the actual position of the system and the fact that I pulled
out from there




What's so funny?

I reminded the girl of this picture just at the moment when
my hand was in the pipe and I scooped up a lot of a spoon




This amused her so much that she urgently needed to go to the toilet,
but I took it off, so she had to run to cat tray


On that day, I did not get a romantic date,
but this is also a kind of romance,
I think we will always remember this.
And I cleaned the sewer system, but then it turned out that
it was recommended to do it with gloves.
The joyful girl ran away to work and I made this picture

Great story and pictures.
Thanks for bringing a chuckle to start my day!

Hope you got a raincheck on the date.

Saw this really unusual BMW Isetta 300 last week. Never saw one of these 3 wheelers before. The cab front is hinged for entry/exit. Must be fun to drive. Bet you'd get alot of blank stares.

Warren,
Umm,nice car,but where do you put stuff??

Also,must be kind of hard to get out of if you have a accident.

Wayne,

Looked like it had some storage behind the seat. Getting out in an emergency, perhaps why it had a soft roof.

I live about a half hour from here - www.bubblecarmuseum.co.uk
