Sorry....got in on email yesterday....

I should have guessed that this bunch would have been the first to see it....or someone here authored the friggin thing.
 
Actually, It's at least 20 years old. I've seen it on fidonet years before the internet existed.

That's the trouble with being my age, I've seen most everything once, most things twice, some 3 times and taken part in many things myself.
 
At least this one seems to have substituted some of the weird Aussie tool terminology for American usage.

Well, Aussies speak Australian just fine, They just don't speak American very well. Not that it is easy, even the Canadians have some trouble with the language.. eh?

I got tired of reading this misandrist piece of garbage, so I wrote my version:

Oil Change Instructions for Women:

1) Pull up to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3000 miles since the last oil change.
2) Drink a cup of coffee
3) 15 minutes later, write a check and leave with a properly maintained vehicle.

Money spent:
Oil Change: $20.00
Coffee: $1.00
Total: $21.00

But then . . .
4) Engine seizes because JL "technician" left drain plug out
5) Call tow truck; scream at JL manager
6) New engine, $2500
7) Rental car while dealer installs new engine, $500 ($50/day x 10 days)
7) Lawyer to threaten to sue JL, $185.00/hr. (I could be way low on this)
8) JL eventually settles, but lawyer takes big cut

End result:
New engine;
Lawyer and rental car manager are now your best friends;
You've lost 10 years off your life and gained 2,000 new gray hairs.

(Feel free to send this on next time somebody sends you this misandric e-mail.)
