WR: Beautiful bonehead move

Andrew Thorne said:

My bike felt kind of weirdly lumpy as I rode up the street
to the trailhead. After about ten minutes riding I have a
flat - "damn these piece of [censored] IRC tubes, I just
replaced this the other night", I'm thinking as I pull off
the tire, and run my hand around inside to find whatever
sharp object might still be stuck in the tire. And I
find.....

A bright blue tire lever. In the tire.

Note to self: drink beer AFTER fixing bike. Not before.

That is too funny. Perhaps beer should come with some sort
of warning, but I can't think of it at the moment.

...and since there isn't one now, I think AT may have some
good lawsuit ammo!

Typical AOLer behavior...

Nothing more to see, move along.

Also watch the drinking during fixing part.

In the midst of my January AZ I had to replace a piece of
[censored] Easton handlebar, install new cranks and BB and install
new pedals.

Cranks: fine Pedals: fine BB: fine Handlebars: fine
(after installing brake levers on wrong sides the first
time around)

I've done that totally sober. Maybe if I was drinking it
would have been better...

My favorite had to be the nice young woman who reinstalled
her own cranks. She wasn't sure what was wrong, but knew
something was amiss... (probably the fact that the cranks
were 90 degrees apart rather than 180).

I've ridden a bike with a 0 degree difference that was built
as a joke. Kind of hard doing that dolphin-kick pedalstroke!

Let's all thank God that you're not a surgeon or dentist.

Met this girl in the waiting of my dentist. She was there to
have a file removed from the inside of her gums. The idiot
forgot to pull it out of her mouth before he sewed her up! I
didn't believe her till she pulled out the x-rays.

With the ISIS bottom brackets the difference can be much
subtler. Apparently it can take a 'mate' ages to figure out
why their pedal stroke feels kinda funny.
