The "Hey, I Didn't Have Any Part Of That!" Story
It was an ordinary day. Jerry and I are talking about the good old days. And ... they get older all the time. Jerry asked, "Do you remember when ...... someone ...... took the engine out of Warpy's car?" "I think I do," I replied. Well by now our wives are listening intently to this story. "I wasn't part of that, you know," I told Jerry. And, he said, "Me neither." Yeah, right! Warpy was our gym teacher in high school. Not very well liked. Made us really "listen" and had us doing some of the most stupid things in gym class. His name was Mr. Wilson Lewars and his daughter was one of our classmates. Evidently a few of our classmates, since it wasn't either one of us, took a tow truck to his house one evening while he slept, quietly removed the engine (I know you really don't believe that, but it's true), and closed the hood. Now if you have been reading my stories you know that Jerry helped me take my engine out of my Henry J and rebuild it. But, no names will be mentioned in this story.
