Don't ask me how I know...

1. Never load a trailer with a heavy vehicle on a hill... as the front of the trailer lifts the rear of the tow vehicle, it will lose traction and roll downhill at will. Stopping the several ton train can be a challenge.

2. Go-carts can make good sized holes in a steel garage door.

3. Never check to see if the tongue of a trailer is all the way down on the ball with your finger...it's a great way to nearly shear off your finger tip when it drops down at the same time.

4. Pulling a harmonic balancer with the puller catching on the water pump pulley can make the pump shaft break and send the pulley flying at supersonic speeds into your front teeth.

5. Laying naked on your bed when your wife's girlfriend is staying over for the weekend can be embarrassing.

6. A slide hammer should never be used in a position that might enable it to crush one's Daddy parts as the weight is slammed.

7. Always be sure the pin holding your receiver hitch in is secure; loosing this pin will make it difficult to prevent your car trailer from breaking the safety chains and controlling the trailer from racing across 3 lanes of traffic and ending up in the other ditch.

8. Be sure the distributor cap retaining tangs are well crimped; a loose tang will fall into the engine and require hours to find.

9. A 250# Modine heater should be well tied down when transporting it on a freeway in the back of a pickup truck; a small gust of wind will easily topple it off the truck and onto the road.

10. Wasps will build nests in strange places. Even in a intake hood for an air supply respirator. (Groundup bees are bad for pumps!)
