Rumble at the Supermarket
Last Saturday...
Last Saturday I was on my way home early. (Actually, I was working...had to test that new suspension you see.) 
Anyway, I was driving past the supermaket by my house when I saw one of my friends trucks parked in the parking lot. Soooooo, I was early home anyway...
I gave him a call on his cell phone. I was still in the car with it running by his truck--on the far end of the parking lot.
"Larry"
"WHAT!!!...WHO IS THIS?" (Larry is an eye surgeon and was probably wondering who had leaked his cell phone number.)
"LARRY! IT'S ME", I giggled as I knew he would never be able to understand me over the rumble.
"WHO IS THIS?!!!"
"LARRY, ARE YOU IN DAY'S (The name of the supermarket).
"WHO IS THIS...???!!! (Probably wanting to avoid a call.)
"LARRY!, DON'T YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS?"
"NO!"
"LISTEN!"
At which I gunned it. I'm sure the front windows rattled.
I didn't, of course, have to say anything else. Next thing I know, he leaves his groceries at the check out stand and RUNS out the front door. (Larry knows I need a "navigator" when "testing" new parts).
He opens the door and sits down. After a long pause..."David, see the smile? It's coming...yep here it is."
So, off to the canyon. About 1/2 way up it starts to rain...WHO CARES?
We keep heading up the canyon. Sternly, I look at him and declare, "We are getting wet; we should drive faster so the rain goes over us!" Strategy worked. People were laughing and pointing at us, but who cared? (Lots of thumbs up too--I might add.)
We turn around and head back to the store. We talk for a long time about life, cars, surgery (remember, I was on my way to medical school one day--a long time ago.) He tells me how much he wishes he could have my job and I leave him standing at his truck. (I almost had to surgically remove his tongue off my fender before I could leave.)
The rain cleaned off my "bare naked lady" so I'm glad I didn't go home because of a little rain. The sun came out, and I finally headed home. Of course, when I got home...there was a line of neighborhood kids waiting their turn. The sun was out...so, I decided I had to do some more "testing."

Jamo,
We are experiencing techinical difficulties...tomorrow is the day. UPS NEXT DAY DELIVERY to save the day.
Besides, I just wanted you to know how cool these "bare naked ladies" are. I figured if your car wasn't done, I should be kind enough to tell you all about my experiences so you wouldn't miss any of them...hee, heee, heeee
David

Jamo,
You can drive and live vicoriously through David. No insurance, no license, no fuel expenses...
Not a bad arrangement. He drives, he narrates, you drool.

Re: Rumble at the Supermarket
And contrary to popular belief - it didn't melt. Bet the paint didn't even run. Good story and good use of time. |

David,
I admire you dedication to product quality. Product testing is a never ending cycle. However I am concerned that you are understaffed and therefore I am offering my services as a product test specialist. Please have one of your cars shipped to my home as soon as possible and I will begin my test program.
Roger

Gents,
May I suggest you give Jamo a call...I think he will need a "navigator" shortly.
Plan 2 was a success.

Jamo,
According to Cal Trans, all passes between California and Utah are snow bound, and will be for the next 2 - 3 week !!
But, your Gashole buddies COULD arrange for a C-130 H to touch down on the Interstate, right outside Provo at 0300 for a quick pickup and delivery !!
Just give us the word !
