Probably has a full tank of fuel too, right?

About the funniest work story I can tell here is this:

I am an Auto Tech teacher for a state run school for convicted jouvenile offenders. One of my slower students was having trouble with some of the book work. Especially the question about internal combustion. I had gone over this with the student repeatedly. Finally, I pointed to a small block 350 sitting on a stand some other students had just assembled and painted before it went into Pistolnut's M715. I asked the student if that was an internal combustion engine.

He got up, walked around it, looked it over, touched it and then turned to me. "This engine is so clean, there ain't no bustin' going on inside it."

Sometimes it is the simple things that prevent learning was what I learned from that.
