Bad Wrench! Bad, Bad Wrench!

A hood fell on my head once. Here's how:

As anyone who lives in Kansas knows it gets VERY windy in the spring. I was helping my brother pull and change the plugs in his old car one day when it was really windy. My bro goes to grab another wrench and I'm still wrenching away when this heavy gust of wind comes and lifts the hood up far enough to pull it off the prop. So then the prop fell and I started pulling my head back but it caught me right on top of the head (you know...on the soft spot). I think I scared my neighbors away that day I was swearing so loud. Needless to say my car now has hood struts.

So I pushed it up to 110,
That flathead motor was about to give in,
I crossed my fingers and prayed to the lord,
Don't let me down you fuct up ford!"
