The guy's problem was funny enough, but the jork comment was icing on the cake. Hey jork is from Chicago too, he's probably more well known around there for opening up backdoors than you might think
QUOTE(jrock8)
i have to admit, if that actually happened, it's fucking hysterical
You're right. Just checked the yellow pages. Right there under backdoor specialists is Jork's ad. He's also got an ad under escort services.
You know, if you're really that good at opening up backdoors, Jork, you might be able to come up with your own line of spray lube.
So Ed called back this morning. I didn't talk too much, he just kept me laughing all on his own. Here's the gist of what he said... (one more thing... he sounds like an older guy, at least 60 or so, so he's real polite and a little slow)
Ed: Hi, this is Ed, you were going to look at my backdoor this morning.
Bobaloo: Hey, Ed, what's going on, do you need directions?
Ed: Well, I tried the backdoor one more time this morning and I got it to open up.
Bobaloo: So the Jork worked? (really fast)
Ed: what was that?
Bobaloo: So you got it to work?
Ed: Yeah, I sure did. I couldn't open it at all for the past few days, but I tried from the inside and I got it to open up and now I can open it from the outside and the inside. I think maybe it was just sticking a little. I'm going to get some kind of spray lube for it and lube it up real good inside and outside. think that will take care of it?
Bobaloo: Well, it's hard to know without looking at it, but I'll cross my fingers for ya. i would get some Jork's SD-69, but it's hard to find. If you can't find that, get some WD-40 or some other penetrating oil (that's really what good spray lube is called... it's just funny that it's called penetrating oil). You might also want to get some white litheum grease and spray the linkage real good. If you need help or you still need me to take a look at it or if the problem returns, give me a call and we can take a look at it.
and it went on from there. He's a really nice guy
Now I did paraphrase a bit cuz I didn't memorize the whole thing. but when he called I took notes of all the funny stuff that he said. He mainly dominated the conversation this time and I left out the things that weren't funny from his rambling on. So what you see above is the good stuff, not the entire conversation. In any case, I thought it was funny and it made me laugh. Thought I'd pass it on to you.
Here's a bit-o-trivia. WD-40 stands for water displacement, 40th attempt.
Perhaps we'll see a Jork brand SD-69 one day.
[In Johnny Carson voice]: I did not know that.
which is surprising cuz I usually know useless shit like that.
But now I can amaze all my friends with some more trivia. I know many are intimidated by my wit cuz people are always trying to avoid talking to me at parties.

I was kaughing my arse off just reading it... I can only imagine having a 60yr old say it over then phone
That's why it was able to take off the way it did. Cuz I knew he wouldn't get half of what I was saying. I literally had a hard time catching my breath after hanging up the phone because I begain laughing so hard. I'm laughing out loud right now just thinking about it all. I wish I had a way to record the phone call. I do have the notes I took while I was talking to him. I should take a pic of the page just to show you the squiggles from when i was laughing and trying to write at the same time.
