My neighbor, whom I hadn't seen in a month, walked by the house yesterday. His left forefinger was wrapped in a bandage. Seems that he was applying some belt dressing to his kid's car while the engine was running. He reached down to spray some dressing on the lower pulley and his finger got trapped between the belt and the pulley. Laid the finger open to the bone. He said he knew it was a dumb move.

I said, "John, last week I changed the serpentine belt on my truck. The lawyer's warning on the box said, "Caution! Do not attempt to install this belt with the engine running!" I said, "John, at the time I wondered who the hell would be dumb enough to try something like that?"
