Well Brian, you caught me on that one, about 27 too much. Thanks. I guess I was just over-excited after seeing this kind of thing again. Been gone 19 years......

Apparently what is going on, With the pitch of the driveway, he could not check his oil level with any accuracy, so he raised the rear of the car to make it sit level so he could get an accurate reading.

But checking the transmission fluid it says to be on a level surface.

Poor devil's last thought was probably "Huh? It's in park, it can't do that!"
Dim and flawed understanding of things like mechanics and gravity can get serious...
But the case above is EASY...just tilt the camera a tad and reshoot! Problem solved!

Listen Here


Life is hard, but life is hardest when you’re dumb
No joie de vivre, just endless hours of tedium
With a negative IQ you’ll be lonesome sad and blue
Life is hard, but life is hardest when you’re dumb

Life is hard, but life is hardest when you’re dumb
You wait for years, but inspiration never comes
Thoughts you don’t have remain unheard because you cannot find the words
Life is hard, but life is hardest when you’re dumb

Life is hard, but life is hardest when you’re dumb
Between your ears a dark and silent vacuum
If there’s a void behind your face
why not rent out the vacant space
Life is hard, but life is hardest when you’re dumb

Life is hard, but life is hardest when you’re dumb
Why not just lay back and smoke a bowl of opium
If being stupid is your fate just relax ’cause it’s too late
Life is hard, but life is hardest when you’re dumb
