RAY: The other day, I had to go to my buddy Pete's repair shop early in the morning. I was returning a tool...
TOM: ... that you had borrowed two years ago.
RAY: Something like that. Anyway, they had a customer’s vehicle parked in the bay next to the lift, and it had two flat tires in the front. I said to Pete, "Huh? What happened to that thing? Did it fall off the tow truck when it came in?"
He said, "Oh, no, nothing like that. Jerry's replacing the water pump."
I said, "Oh, of course."
The question is, what the heck is going on here?
The Flat Front Tires
RAY: Jerry was replacing the water pump, and he was getting the vehicle lower so that he could reach it. In fact, it was an F-350 pickup truck, and it was either that... or hoist him up by the seat of his pants and dangle him over the hood to reach it!
TOM: So he just let the air out of the tires.
RAY: Exactly. It was like a kneeling car. So who's our winner?
TOM: Congratulations to Larry Ardner from Canton, Ohio!
