New Puzzler, Encore 8, Spark Plugs and a Vacuum
Ray: Vinny Goombotz decided to do a tune up on his brother Vinny's car.
Tom: His other brother Vinny.
Ray: Of course. Which included changing the spark plugs. He knew he read
some place that you were supposed to e careful trying to prevent dirt from
falling into the spark plug holes. So he tried to vacuum the dirt away with
his Click and Clack autographed model shop vac. And it didn't suck enough.
The space was so confined, he couldn't get close enough with his crevice
tool to do it. So he decided to remove the plugs very carefully. And then
with the plugs removed, he would get that wand in there and vacuum away the
dirt so that when he went to put the new plugs back in no dirt would fall
into any of the cylinders. SO he did this and the results were, to say the
least disastrous.
Tom: Or at least exciting.
Ray: Exciting. What happened?
Tom: We should mention, however, that you should NOT try this at home.
Because disastrous is really correct.
Ray: So don't try this at home. Wait to find out the right answer next week.
