A little liberty with the saying "Bees in your bonnet" A lucky auto technician finds nothing unusual when he opens the hood to a car: just an engine, a bunch of wires and hoses, and a radiator up front. A less lucky one might find a lot of dust or dirt, or leaves, or perhaps some leaking fluids. A technician in Oxford, England wasn’t so lucky to find those, though: he found a snake. The incident happened at Carringtons of Oxford, a Bosch car service center located 55 miles northwest of London. Technician Wayne Hunt was part way through an inspection on a customer’s Mini Cooper when he found a five-foot-long boa constrictor curled up in the engine bay. He was feeling under the hood trying to unlatch it when he inadvertently touched the snake, which was sitting in front of the front-right wheel well. Hunt called the Royal Society for the Protection of Animals to pick up the snake, which didn’t belong to the car’s owner. Neither Hunt nor the snake was hurt, thankfully, but at five inches thick, the RSPCA says the snake looked a little thin. We wouldn’t be surprised if Mini commemorated the find with another of its numerous special edition models. If they do, we’d like for it to be called the Cooper Constrictor. Source: Bosch
And I was complaining about eggs and birds hitting my car. I might of needed a new change of shorts after that, or hazard pay.
Just like the nekked guy said when the husband asked him what he was doing in the wife's closet: "Everybody has to be someplace". For those that don't know: Naked means you ain't got no clothes on. N-e-double k-by gawd-e-d means you ain't got no clothes on and you up to sumptin.
Is that a snake under your bonnet or are you just happy to see me!?!? sorry, I couldnt pass that one up.
At least he was on the side opposite the bonnet latch. If I reached my fingers in to unlatch the bonnet and touched that.... Actually, I may never open my bonnet again now, thanks. I think my modding addiction is cured.
This thread came to mind yesterday. My wife found a black snake in the stall she was cleaning, broad jumped the wheelbarrow and completely disappeared from the barn. :lol: Jim
I hate snakes! :eek6: I'd have to just drive it right to the dealership and trade it!!!!! :shocked::yikes:
