Something to make ya chuckle

Well i have never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed. Pretty much figured out the term bumpside but for the life of me couldn't figure out the dentside part. Took me almost a month and i had one of the those duh moments today. Sometimes i think i am overworking my 1/2 of a brain cell maybe that's why i can't walk and chew gum at the same time Just goes to show everyone that i still have alot to learn from this site but will probably take me twice as long to figure it out while some of you pick it up quickly. Maybe all the drinking in the service really killed off more memory cells than i first thought.

Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest. Want another challenge, why are 61-66 called slicks.

Back when my buddies and I drove dents we called bumps " old style Fords" and dents " new style Fords".
