Well that was dumb...

Freshened up the engine in the Roadrunner I was racing back in the 70's. All went good... Put the engine in the car, had everything except the convertor bolted up... Slid under the car to finish that and noticed a convertor laying under the workbench.... and then noticed the empty bellhousing.

Speaking off that workbench... It had originally been the counter in the speed shop I frequented. I got it for free.. Just had to move it. So it went on my car trailer... I needed help unloading it, but I also wanted to get my tie downs off it before they disappeared in the night. So, I climbed up on the trailer and all was good until I unlatched the last tie down. The bench suddenly shifted and rolled over, trapping my legs, but pushing my upper body off the trailer over the fender. I was hanging there upside down.... Fortunately, there were some people in the body shop, so I figured all I had to do was get a couple of those guys.... But I had to get their attention. A girlfriend of one walks out and I'm still hanging there, upside down. I calmly asked her to get one off the guys. Now... I even knew this girl from being in a wedding (she was maid of honor, I was best man), so I called her by name... She just stood there. I asked her again... It didn't seem to phase her that I was hanging upside and stuck.... She finally sighed and said "Oh alright" and went in the shop. I could hear her saying "There's some guy out here that says he needs your help... I don't know what he needs.

So.... One of the guys came out and saw me, yelled for his buddy and they lifted the bench off me. The girl just stood there... and still didn't understand the situation. They all kind of looked at her and shook their heads.
