don't oil your hood hinges!!!!

I would give this an lol, but......I have my own story. I worked at a small one owner garage about 1982. Real good guy. Raced a turbo KZ900. Broke some records even. Anyway, he had a friend that would come by and help when we got busy. He was a cool guy too. More seasoned than I .....not that it took much then. lol

Anyway, we had this mid 70s LTD in doing some work. Tune up.....I don't remember. Something under the hood. For whatever reason, I was standing outside the car right at the front of the driver's door with my left hand draped over the fender RIGHT at the back corner of the hood. Yup. Billy shut the hood. My hand was caught right there at the very back corner. I just smiled real big and looked at Billy. I thought he was gonna break hisself in half runnin for the hood release inside the car. If he said I'm sorry once he said it 100 times that day......BUT in reflection it was my fault. Stupid place to put your hand. I have never made that mistake again and I ALWAYS think about it when I am around a car now.
