And you tease people for wasting time doing surgery to inner tubes? How
long did it take you to find that pic? Or did you doctor it yourself?

There's surgery and then there's appropriate withdrawal of extraordinary
care 🙂

It was sent to me as an e-mail (must be going around?); the "cycling
component" is what caught my attention for further time-wasting purposes in
this particular arena...

Bill "we both could have patched a tube in the time this took" S.

PS: I had quite a tube failure yesterday. Had just screamed down a short
steep hill (hitting about 42 mph), and was cruising along a long /flat/ (!)
section when I heard a bang and then PSSSSSSSSST. Rear tire (brand new)
dead flat. Glad it waited till then!

Tube had been in previous tire, so maybe I did something in the swap
process. Hole was right near the valve stem; usually those types leak
slowly and not suddenly like this.

Bill "added it to the pile (I must have 25 tubes to get to some day)" S.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you weren't a redneck, you would have a centerpiece in the middle of the
stack, maybe with candles and flowers.

I'm thinking about starting a mail-order tube patching business based
out of India. I'll give you the 25-piece discount, and I won't even
require a core-charge.

Looks pretty much like a call centre anywhere, big office full of
clueless people with computers and telephones, could be India, could be
Moncton, NB in Canada, could be Boca Raton Florida....

Did you ever notice that everyone in India who works in a call center is
named Joe?

I'm not sure if the video quality was that bad that you couldn't see, but I
think the writer was the only white guy there, so it was probably India.

The Wog's irony rings true: geographical location is the only
distinction between these otherwise uniform facilities.
