Be careful what you wear (or don't wear), when working under your
vehicle ... especially in public.
From the Sydney Morning Herald in Australia comes this story of a
couple who drove their car to K-Mart only to have their car break
down in the parking lot. The man told his wife to carry on with the
shopping while he fixed the car there in the lot. The wife returned
later to see a small group of people near the car.
On closer inspection she saw a pair of male legs protruding
from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts,
they had ridden up his legs, and his lack of underpants
had turned his private parts into glaringly public ones.
Unable to stand the embarrassment she
dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand up his shorts and
tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet she looked
across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was
standing idly by. The poor mechanic under the car had to have three
stitches in his head.
