I'll let all you young ladies take advantage of some wisdom from one of the Ancients:

Always carry a sack of Beechnut and a package of Juicy Fruit when traveling on country roads.

If you spring a leak in your radiator, chew about half a bag of Beechnut and spit it directly into your radiator.
Do this before all the water runs out.

If a rock knocks a hole in your gas tank, chew the whole package of Juicy Fruit until all the sweet is gone and stick the whole wad over the hole.
Do this before all the gas runs out.

NOW! Don't you feel smarter?

What happened to baling wire and duck tape???? I thought everything could be fixed with those 2 things :)

Thanks for the hint. What happens if your teeth stick to the gum....... just plug the holes with everything in your mouth!?!

I'll just be stuck on the side of the road with a dry radiator.

I took a car in once to have the oil changed - I was embarrassed because I knew it had been a LONG time since it had been changed so I warned the mechanic - he told me there was no way it was worse than one he had changed once before and laughed, telling me the story of how bad that oil had been.

A bit later he came into the waiting area with a look of total surprise (disgust?) on his face........ he said he lied, my oil was worse than the one he had seen before.

I never went back there - ;^)

Gotta love this. The first time my husband saw me trying to add oil to my car with and eye dropper in the place where the dip stick went, he asked me to promise him I would never ever again open the hood of my car.
