Explaining to Do

06/30/2014 1:29 PM

How do you explain to your wife, the presence of the cylinder and piston from an old Remington chainsaw in your freezer?

Simply that it is the first step in freeing the stuck piston from the cylinder.

I hope you have a torch handy for use in heating the cylinder, or you could be in trouble.

If you are lucky enough to have the piston beyond the transfer port, you can fill with coo lade, replace the plug and have a "piston pop"

Ask your wife, "Haven't you ever heard of cold cuts?"

Explain that putting it is the freezer is the best choice since putting it in the oven creates smoke and makes the food taste funny.

And that you save the oven for curing those parts you've just painted with wrinkle paint.

The paint wrinkles better if you can get it hot. (Insert grin here)

Must have been getting ice and set it down. Been looking for where I left most of the day. Thanks Honey.

If she had a sense of humour and it was me I would have pretended to look shocked and said something like "but if that's in here that means the body parts must still be .......".

;)

Obviously dark humour is not for everyone or every situation however.

Because if I put them in the refrigerator there wouldn't be enough room for my beer.
