Okay... I lost a seal to my transmission. I called around and can't get one locally.
So, I got home and searched the apartment. I searched the porch where I was working. I searched the garbage can. It's gone. I just got home, so I'm still in uniform.
Ohhhhh... there's only one place it could be. So, I walked across the parking lot, and climbed into the dumpster. After rooting around in the dumpster for 20 minutes, going through stinky garbage, I find *my* white plastic garbage bag! (WTF... they all look the same!)
So, as I climb out of the dumpster (in uniform) with this bag of garbage, a car full of college girls slowly creeps by.
They actually stop and watch me tear the bag open, and start to go through the greasy contents. WOOHOO! I find the seal and proceed to do the Happy-Snoopy dance!
Good thing I have a toolwench - cause I'll never get a date in this town.
