It's like the big wart on the math teacher's cheek - you try not to stare, but you can't help it.

Well, there you go. Wal-Mart patrons are known for their unique creative abilities.
You think it, Wal-Mart patrons will make it happen.

Sweet Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Baby Jesus.
I feel like the driver of that car likes to think of Jesus like with giant eagle's wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I'm in the front row and he's hammered drunk!

They walk among us.
If you were to ask him about it, he'd probably be proud of the money he "saved".

Well, yes, he did use the lock washer, but as I recall the threads on the shaft of that ball are not NPT. I wouldn't be surprised if that ball was just sitting on there.

He did a great job of directing everybody's attention away from the area where that "receiver" is somehow attached to the car.

Looks like that receiver is about to fall off......he must tow a boat and launch it into salt water. It MIGHT work ONCE more!
