what is it about working on a car and getting your hands all greasy that makes a guy wanna go "I am man, hear my testosterone! RAWR!!" 
my car battery died last night. dead. my lights and radio didn't want to start. i call my friend to give me a jump then head on home. i call my other friend to see if she can come with me the next day to get my battery replaced. she shows up this morning with a little generator that revives my car. i thank her and she heads to work. i walk to the autozone down the street to inquire about a car battery. i tell him i need to know how much it'll cost then i have to go down the street to one of the mechanics to ask how much it'll cost to replace the battery. the autozone salesperson says its easy to replace the battery. that if i bring my car and park it in front i can do it there. i don't usually do work on my car so i wasn't sure, but the guy explained it to me. sounded easy enough so i said i'd be right back. headed home, got my car and parked in front. the guy gave me some tools to work with and i proceeded to unscrew the plugs then the bar holding the battery in place. i bought the battery, put it in my car and screwed everything into place. at this point my hands were all greasy and i felt like yelling "WILMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
i washed my hands then went to my car and put in the key. it started! he lives! it's amazing how such a simple thing will give you such a sense of accomplishment. now if you'll excuse me, i have to go play with my cat 
on a completely unrelated note, i'm trying to figure out if this is brilliant or just wrong
