  Yeah, well, there shouldn't be any cars in Larry's
  World either, or perhaps just no chopsticks? I dunno,
  it seemed like a good idea at the time... (grumble
  mumble mutter gripe)=20

  If you wanna know what Jacob's alluding to, I'll
  repost that particular Grooism below:

  Grooism #4
  The Old Chopstick in the Carburator Trick.

  Yet another College Grooism, as usual DOING something
  stupid instead of SAYING something stupid...

  One day my car ran out of gas a few blocks from
  campus, and I managed to push it to the University
  parking lot by myself. I walked to the gas station,
  got a can of gas, and filled up the tank. The car, by
  the way, was a powder blue '72 Duster.

  I know very little about cars, but I remembered from
  many, many, many other times running out of gas that I
  had to put a couple of drops of gas into the valve on
  top of the carburator if it didn't turn over
  immediately. I rummaged around the trash piled in the
  back seat looking for a screwdriver or something to
  hold the valve open with.

  Aha, a chopstick!!! (wooden)

  I was somehow under the impression that I had to hold
  the valve open while starting the car, so I left the
  chopstick in there as I cranked her up.=20

  Hurray! She started!

  Shortly thereafter, I called my friend Brian's room,
  who is mechanically able.

  "Hey Brian, it's Larry"

  "Yeah, hi. We were all watching you from the window.
  Ran outta gas, huh?

  "Ummm, yeah, but there's a complication. Ya see, I got
  a chopstick stuck in my carburator and I can't get it
  out..."

  "YOU WHAT!!!?"

  Oh, I'm sure you can imagine the howls of laughter
  from everyone in the room as my predicament was
  explained to The Zoodogs (as they were known). Nope,
  never managed to live THAT ONE down, although Brian
  DID manage to get it out.=20

  -------------------

  Is it worth reposting more of my Grooisms? It's been a
  couple of years since my run of Grooism posts, but I
  don't know if anyone really wants to read this stuff?
  Whattaya think?
