You guys will love this one. Please bear in mind it is a shortened version of a REAL conversation. I have used a little licence to shorten the story up.
This IS true in its essence.
Bloke I know:
You own a Jeep? (alarmed)
Arent they C!@p?
We had one that sucked the air filter into the engine.
They are no good. It totally wrecked the engine.
My reply:
Must've had good compression.
Don't Air filters go in one way only with a grid on one side to stop being sucked in?
Was it the Jeep engine sucking air well or the filter installed upside down so the element could be sucked in?
So who was sucker (his name) or a well pumping engine?
You said you installed the filter yourself yeah?
Must've been a POS filter or.......(no words needed)
His Reply. Yeah. uummmm (mumbled with eyes fixed to the ground, foot scuffing back and forth not able to look me in the eye any more).
My parting comment:
Clearly a Jeep thing. Yeah?
I quite like mine. She does pretty much what I ask her to and then some and goes like the Clappers (if I ask her).
I walk away thinking to self:
AAH! The informed mind.
