I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes.
I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over.
I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong.
And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions.
I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely.
It's what we do.
Believe it or not, I have been at shows where two teams of oily ones compete over a bank-holiday weekend to build a vehicle from a heap of components, and drive it around the show-ring. One sincerely hopes that as soon as that's been achieved, they dismantle it again into a nice, safe, pile of bits, before it can harm anyone.
Don't give The Oily One ideas!!!
ReplyDeletebon courage indeed
