Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 12, 2013

He couldn’t take it, after countless hours.

Whatta creep!

Don’t think this stacking of books is going to catch on.

See? It is the writing of the Elders that is dangerous…It is so written….

Getting the drop on someone speaks volumes about a person’s gravitas….And I hate it when my browser goes down…

OMG you think you’re all so punny!

Earl wouldn’t have been comfortable and other way. While he was under there, he discovered some unexpected problems that could cost the library, big time. But Earl will give them a special deal off the books!

Linguist, since it’s a library, maybe he’s working on the muffler….Gweedo, some people just don’t know jack…

True to form he’s actually catching a few zzz’s.

Ummm… hand me that Book wrench…Nooo, not that one the other one.

Wouldn’t the books fall out?

The confusion of hone decor and greasy cars was just too much for him to handle.

wondering if zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance would be qualified as self-help or technical repair?

Good thing he is next to the Doctor section…

True, that. While working for Vocational Rehab I had a client who had been a dentist. He had purchased a full-size bus, and set about to convert it into an RV for his family. While he was under the bus one day, it fell and closed off one of his carotid arteries. When he recovered, he found that he had diminished mental capacity. He could no longer practice dentistry.

Thirty comments in and no one has turned it political. I’m proud of all of you.

The only auto repair book I feel competent to refer to is also called the yellow pages.

Have known Auto hoist to fail …Dropping Cady on mechanic

For the jack-in-the-books?

ASE certification required to enter the stack.

“The way the cars are designed they are practically made to be fixed only at repair shops with the proper equipment.”

+++++

Starting with the need for a computer readout to diagnose what the car thinks is wrong.

He’ll have to jack…, er…up the shelf.

I’m sorry, but I have to ask: what does the American Society of Echocardiography have to do with auto mechanics?

Excuse me ,but in auto repair does one judge how well the job was done by the number of “spare parts” left over? If so I would say he’s doing a great job! (note all the extra books laying there>)

Awww gee Trusted you ruined it BEFORE you even got to Knuckle Busting 101

I once had to change the oil on a ’73 Chevy pickup……took an hour in the shower afterwards to get the oil out of my hair…could they have placed the drain plug anywhere else other than the side of the oil pan?

He can have your book read, but you’ll have to leave it in the library overnight.
