It's still Fryeday here ... Once, one of my landlords heard an unholy mewling from under his pick'm'up truck. He figgered it was some mechanical failure, and since none of the warning lights were on, he drove back home. He looked under the truck, and the bedraggled kitteh climbed down off the axle and begged for mercy! No fuel line problem. NVC. But that kitteh became our household pet ...
