Used to take two engineers a couple hour of calculations to decide which way to turn it. Now they all turn the same way.
Kinda like Whitworth and SAE.

Did.t they use slide rules ? Batteries were a small fortune

I kinda think, it was the marketing team hat fixed that problem. They were all sitting around "hiw do we solve this, those damn women jeep telling us rmthese don't screw in.". After much thought *well what about a catchy parade ..." Tightly y ghty, lefty loosely" no one in their right mind would market that phrase to a man. "Sir, turn that wrench;eighty tightly lefty loosely, now well go paint each others nails", doesn't sound likely.

Why a man would want a wife is a mystery to some people.  Why a man would want two wives is a bigamystery.

Marriage, a woman had to of designed this, as a way to screw us over.
I believe it should be a 10 yr. contract, with no strings attached.
If you want to keep her, sign on bottom line.

Or maybe a lease program.
Drive it three yrs. then trade in for new one.

I'm getting tired of stating I started this thread for short pithy quips to be enjoyed and then move on. Too many discussion and questionable posts have been appearing. Please refrain from stating anything from the obvious to the questionable. Find or start your own thread for the sidetracks that are being generated here if you want to continue on in a particular vein.

I assure you, I am not a straight laced stiff necked individual. I just want to maintain the integrity of the thread for all to enjoy the quips so prevalent in everyday life.
