Well, just write it down as another example as to why if you have some home repair that needs to be done, I’m not your man! My in-laws are here for the week. And as usual, we have a list for Dub (my father-in-law) in regards to things around the house that need to be fixed or repaired (because I’m a moron and can’t do it…and my dad never showed me how growing up…hear violins in the background). In our bedroom we have a ceiling fan that for weeks has made a hideous sound when we turned it on. Not like a background noise humming sound, but an obnoxious high pitched…keep you up at night sound! So, I exhausted all of my fix-it skills (which entails spraying it with WD40…my answer to just about every home project). So, I put it on the list for Dub. Well, Dub fixed it. Do you know what he did to fix it? All it needed was…the light bulbs tightened!!!! For weeks I either put up with the sound, or didn’t use the fan and all I had to do is TIGHTEN A FEW LIGHT BULBS!!! Real man of genius here!

Sounds a lot like me, Mr. two left thumbs.
Mea culpa! Mea culpa! Mea culpa! But how did I know that I needed to teach you how to screw in a lightbulb? Question: How many Sams does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer: None. Just leave it and eventually Dub will screw it in.
Ha! Right on…that’s great! How many Sams does it take to screw in a light bulb?!!! Ha! Very witty!
Here is one that may compete with your’s, Sam:
The top of my mower that covers the engine had lost the screws that held it down. it stays on very loosely because the cord that starts the mower goes through a hole that’s on it. when i mow, the stupid thing bounces all over and turns different directions. it has been like this for the past two summers (thanks to my ex-husband).
a few weeks ago i decided that i would find some screws that would fit, and fix it……certainly it couldnt be that difficult…..after successfully hunting down 4 screws that were left behind, i tightened the cover, patted myself on the back, and wondered why on earth this had not been done sooner. welllll, when i started the mower it sounded as if metal was being cut with a circular saw. i realized that the screws i used were WAY too long and was somehow being chewed up by the engine! fortunately i stopped it quick enough to prevent permanent damage….thank God it still works! I think that i will consult my father before trying to fix anything from now on!
