"You need to turn the flimshank crossways before you remove the himhaw screw!"

"No! That'll leave the smackdoodle hanging out!"

"Whatcha need to do is bear down on the jimdandy over there with a three-and-an-eighths-inch left handed Emerson wrench--y'know the kind? The ones with the calibrated head?"

"An Emerson wrench??! Those ain't worth a damn, son. Y'really need a breakbeak chisel and a good three-toe hammer".

A recent trip to an auto parts store reminded me of just what funny places they are.
