I Hijacked this from another forum... It was too funny not to share it
with you guys....
"OK here's the story~~
I recently bought a 89 XJ Limited. Got all the Goodies including Power Windows and seats & the T case with Full time and part time 4 wheel drive Ect. ( Still have my Tin Top ZUK, Ain't giving that up!!)
Any way the Windows and seats work kinda slow so I figured they needed some lubing UP.
I removed the door panel on the passengers side and lube everything and put a piece of wood under the center guide to stop it before it got to low to go back up (like it had been doing) and put it all back together.
Next I took off the cover that is on the front of the seat so I could get at the motor and cranks so I could lube all that up
I have a nice Halogen trouble light and put it on the floor pointing under the seat so I could see what I was doing .
Next I got my Nice can of SPRAY white Lithium grease and laid down on the floor of the Jeep and went to spraying everything in sight.
All of a sudden I saw a Finger of FIRE go past my right ear and on under the seat and the next thing I knew a BIG ball of FIRE came Rolling back out from under the seat enveloping my whole Head.
WELLLL ~~you ain't never
seen an old fat man move as fast as I did scooting out of my Jeep and slapping at my poor old head trying to put out the fire. The whole right side of my head was throwing an Erie Glow off the celling of the garage as what little hair I had went up in flames. I was running around the back of the Jeep slapping at my head to get to the garden hose on the other side of the Jeep and did get the fire on my head out about half way around .
I grabbed the Hose through it over to the far side of the jeep and ran around and started playing Fireman trying to put out the fire that was Happily blazing under the seat.
My Jeep now smells like burned old fart and old cow hide.
Any way no real damage done
I lost some hair and got a little bit of a flash Burn on my right temple . Jeep just singed under the seat and damage is not visible from up on top. Everything still works as well.
I guess the Halogen light was so hot that it Ignited the fumes of the propellant from the Grease."
And Another one...
"I still have to laugh even though it was 20 years ago.
I was visiting a repair shop - must have been Laurel and Hardy's.
A "mechanic?????" pulled a car in to work on it. The owner was up on a ladder putting stuff on a shelf. The car hit the ladder, knocking it over. The owner grabbed onto a rafter as he fell. The rafter sagged, pulling the shelves down off the wall. Filters, plugs and stuff flew all over. The owned landed on his feet unhurt, but the place was a mess!
The owner started yelling at the "mechanic."
The "mechanic" put the car in reverse and backed up - smashing the stuff on the floor, and knocking the floorjack handle through a window, shattering the glass.
The owner was furious!
Then, to make things worse (if that was possible) as the car backed up he ran over a new bottle of anti-freeze. The lid popped off, the contents shot out like a fire hose - drenching the owner - a perfect shot! He just stood there, shaking, face red, not even moving, and didn't say a thing.
I left quickly, I didn't think the timing was right to talk to the owner about new diagnostic equipment."
