A  SAFETY BRIEF

Here’s a safety brief for you ...be careful what you wear (or don’t wear), when working under your vehicle...  especially in public. True story:                                  

From the Sydney Morning Herald Australia comes this story of a central west couple who drove their car to  K-Mart only to have their car break down in the parking lot. The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car.                                  

The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car.  On closer inspection she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones.  

car repairsUnable to stand the embarrassment she dutifully stepped forward and tucked everything back into place.

On regaining her feet she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by.                                  

The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his head.
