The Crushing 'Wait'
Thankfully this story turned out well! Actually could have been deadly!
Otto was at the shop working on a customers car.
Putting a jack in place, he lifted the side of the car. With a kick of his foot he positioned the dolly. Once on his back, he rolled himself underneath.Working away... he began feeling the pressure of the job. Too much pressure!
In his haste, Otto neglected to put in place a horse, as well as the jack. The jack let go and started to ease the car down on Otto’s chest.
Thankfully - or so one would think!? - Charlie was passing by. Otto called out ‘Charlie... help me...’ He said nothing else, mustering those words was hard enough. Breathing was currently an issue.
Charlie had no idea anything was wrong. ‘Just a minute. I have to take a leak.’ And continued on his mission. Poor Otto couldn’t even communicate the direness of the situation with a well deserved scream. When Charlie came back, Otto tried again ‘HELP ME the jack slipped!’
‘Oh my God!’ Charlie jumped into action. ‘Why didn’t you say that!! You #%!@&%!’
Thank goodness all turned out well! (Thank goodness Charlie only had to pee!!)
