Default Sandwich Should Have Known Better...I guess he had other things on his mind.

As some of you may know, Sandwich, (my brother in law) got married over the weekend.

You know, Sandwich really should have known better. He really should have. He has known me now for 18 years. He (and Jamo) knows I can't resist the little red man on my shoulder. He just keeps whispering to me.

When you park your car right at the FRONT DOOR OF THE RECEPTION you are BEGGING for it. And me...I just CAN'T resist...something was going to happen

Parking his car there was like leaving gunpowder next to a fuse...all I needed was a match...

I introduce you to the match--Sandwich's brother.

A secret deal was struck.

I had painted cars in the past. It had been years since I had painted a car. I wondered if I still had the proper hand technique down--so I started on an inconspicuous panel by the oil cooler.

I was delighted with the results, so I continued on to the headlights. I thought it was the perfect shade of Ferrari Passion Red.

WOW!!! Those headlights turned out spectacular! You know, if some is good then a lot is BETTER and too much is JUST RIGHT!!! (It's a "Little Red Man" thing).

Well done, Davey Boy...well done indeed. Congrats to them both...Sandwich is a good guy. I can only hope he wore the Gashole cap during the service.

Personally...I would've used a Sharpie.

Jamo,

You KNOW I just CAN'T can't resist the whisperings.

One of my girl friends once told me she could never marry me because I had "a devil's streak that she just couldn't tame." Too bad for her--I found a wonderful woman instead who still can't tame the streak, but simply puts up with me.

Sandwich kept hearing from all his friends all night long that "something" was going on. My fingers were black, red, yellow, and blue from all the paint. There was no hiding the fact I was guilty.

When he finally came out he didn't know what to think...but by then it was, of course, too late. Besides, he had other things on his mind.

When he pulled out of the church, he laid rubber for at least 50 feet--two nice, long black marks were left in the church parking lot under a billowing cloud of smoke. Yes, Jamo, you would have approved. I wonder if he hit the brakes too hard and squirted some of that mint stuff all over the place!

David

The only other thing I would have added was some of the KY to the rear tires! Congrats to Sandwich, I tried to talk him out of it at the BASH however he was not going to hear any of it, His mind was made up. Well I guess we can add one more good guy to the married club.

Morgan,

The way he lit up those rear tires I wonder if someone DID put KY on them!

I can just see the table with all the wedding gifts. Billet bowls,
forks and knifes. Polished aluminum blenders, etc.

He sure got a mountain of presents! We had to haul them out in a minivan. He now wants a set of stainless side pipes. I told him he had to dig through the pile.
