Friday Wisdom – Mechanics

Posted on 04/21/2023 by Andrew Reynolds

This week I got a quote to replace my A/C system as it’s starting to fail. After looking at the quote, and recovering from the fainting spell, I got thinking about mechanics in general. Here’s what I know:

A robot mechanic is never lonely – they’re always making new friends.

Stopped by the local car repair shop and all the mechanics were drinking coffee – I think they were on a brake.

I told the repair shop that my car was making this strange humming noise. They said it’s likely because my car didn’t know the words.

Does a mechanic need a current license to work on an electric car?

I thought of becoming an elevator mechanic, but I’ve been told the job has serious ups and downs.

I dreamed that I was a mechanic fixing wreaked cars – it was an auto body experience.

To make a mechanical frog, you can’t use bolts. You have to use rivets.

A jumper cable walks into a bar and the bartender yells, “Don’t start anything.”

Never trust a car repair man who rides a bicycle to work.

The mechanic just finished install a new tail pipe. He was exhausted.

We couldn’t fix your brakes, so we made you horn louder.

Is it true that Honda mechanics have to take Civics lessons?

    I love the bar joke and the rivets. Bar jokes are so fun. You should write a book, Andrew. Thanks for Friday funnies.

    So cute! It is a shame what things cost to repair. I hope it gets done before the weather warms up too much.

    The robot mechanic and the mechanical frog are very good, but I have to go for “We couldn’t fix your brakes, so we made you horn louder.”
    Overall, an excellent selection…..as always !

    Replaced my HVAC system a couple of years ago. Worth every penny when summer rolled around.

    There is always something going wrong in a home, isn’t there. We’ve just had to re-do our pathway as I was worried my parents might fall as it was very uneven. Great jokes.

    Turning up the radio volume won’t fix the A/C, huh? Guess that only works to cover the clanking noises.
    Thanks for the
