Funny Story - Too Much Oil

[Lotsokids]

A friend I work with purchased a "commie car" (Trabant) here in Hungary... the same as mine. Whenever his oil light would come on, he would just add a little more oil. He was obviously not checking the dipstick or not looking at the level correctly. Anyway, after continuing to add oil occassionally, his engine siezed up. He had no idea what happened. He assumed his engine was destroyed and was prepaing to do a complete overhaul.  He called a mechanic (a Hungarian co-worker) to look at it. He drained the oil.

Here's the funny part... about 10 quarts of oil came out of his 1-litre 4-cylinder engine. He liquid-locked the engine with oil!!! After filling it to the proper level and cleaning the spark plugs, it cranked right up (with the obvious oil burning).

In the words of the great Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon." Ha ha ha!

That is way too funny, that is why they call them lights "Dummy Lights", only dummies need them. And then its too late.........
