Why Working on Your Car is Like Having Sex

So there I was under the car changing the lower oil cooler hose and wrenching around when I thought "hey, this is lot like having sex." Here then, is my Top 10 List Why Working on Your Car is Like Having Sex. You are invited to post your own list.

When you are under the car . . . .
1. You're on your back making grunting noises . . . .
2. Sometimes you have to use your legs for leverage . . . .
3. You reach for the hole with your fingers . . . .
4. You have to put it in by feel . . . .
5. You have to contort your body to get in the right position . . . .
6. Sometimes liquid stuff falls on your face . . .
7. You curse when it's too tight . . . .
8. You sigh deeply when it goes in easy . . . .
9. You get hungry or want a cold beer or both after you finish . . . .
10. You never have enough light to see what you're doing . . . .
11. The first time always take the longest; the second time is usually easier . . . .


Ok that's 11 so far. Anybody else . . . .

Thanks,
bigmaq

Sometimes all you're doing is screwing (especially true with oil pans).

Why? Sometimes the girl has "fluids" that spray out of the kitty or sometimes the boobs.

4. Or she can put it in for you

7. I haven't found that to be a problem. Especially when she can "grip" whatever you put in there.

8. Tossed many hotdogs down the hallways, have we?

I would have thought that the first time takes the shortest time while subsequent times take longer times.

I think he means takes the longest to get it in...not the longest total time once in.
