From Under a Rock


It seems all of the mental midgets in the area are crawling out from wherever they hide in the winter. The first winner to bless us with his presence was a guy "lookin' to buy" a Polaris from "this ol' boy", but it won't shift into reverse. "Do you know what might be wrong with it?" Yes, he really asked me that. What kind of short bus regular thinks I'll be able to troubleshoot a POS that I haven't even seen? The next one, on the phone, said he just bought a brand new CV joint for his Polaris. He put it on only to find that now his four wheel drive won't work. "What's wrong with it?", he asks. This business never ceases to amaze me with the people we deal with. I'm sure it's ten times worse in places like Auto Zone, and I'm lucky for only having to deal with it occasionally. I would have lost my job if I worked at Auto Zone or any place like that. I have a low tolerance for idiocy. One of my crew is gone for the day, so I'm helping out on the counter. Flashbacks, for sure.

Sounds like they are the type that needs to wear helmets on a more regular/permanent basis, you know, like to walmart.

Luckily, Nash has a wide assortment of helmets to sell them.

Just imagine the calls Nash used to get at the gun shop ... those are the really scary ones.
