Red face Why is it that.....

Why is it that the tire valve on the front is always on the bottom when you need to put air in???
I have a front tire that has 3 plugs in it (nailing victim) and it goes down about every 3 weeks. Every time I need air the ......valve is on the bottom. Tonight it was freezing cold and blowing like crazy and the.... valve is on the bottom again. Of course the duals are always on the top and you have to get on your hands and knees to get them too.

Don't think about it. If you pull up to the pump and you think, "Gee, maybe I should pull up a little farther because the valve is always on the bottom," DON'T DO IT!!! It's a subconcious trick! A ploy! It's the government's way of getting into your head! Big Brother is watching you!

.....Because the valve stem is heavier it will naturally always stop at the bottom.

Don't confuse me with the facts..............

Because the tires rotate around the rim leaving the cap at the bottom all the time.

It has something to do with the stereo **** .... no really, I read that somewhere.

In fact ... it was the same place I saw the gadget that aligns the molecules in your fuel line for sale. Pretty good price on it too, if you were one of the first 200 customers.

And why is it when ya need the garden hose or an extension cord to reach just one more foot,,,,,,,,,,, it is ALWAYS snagged on something? I can guarantee you that if I stand in one place and try to roll up a 50' hose or extension cord,,, it's gonna snag on something,,,,,,,,, but I can also say with 100% assurance that if I were falling off a roof or a cliff with 100' of hose or cord snaked in and around everything I could find,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I would end up going SPLAT followed by the other end of the hose or cord smacking me in the forehead!

Why is it that when you are UNwinding a 100' cord or hose, that it will always snag about one foot SHORT of what you are trying to reach?

Cure for a drought:

Have me drive down there and wash my truck.

Guaranteed to rain or snow almost immediately.
