How is this for Murphy's Law....

I had a big bucket full of kero, with front suspension components soaking in it. It was sitting on a milk crate next to my workshop bench. I had my suspension trumpets in my bench vice and I was tapping out the rooted knuckle joints. Tap...tap...tap..tap...POP!! It flew out the end, rebounded off the bucket, and sent it flying off the milk crate.....

Kero everywhere.....all over the floor, over the shite that was sitting next to the bench, soaked into a roll of new carpet for the staircase, that was sitting in the corner and stunk out the whole house!

I am gunna kill Murphy and his stoopid law.....

I can still smell the stuff on my hands this morning.....

man that sux, i know how u feel, sorta, i left some stop smoke on my window in the shed, and the sun must have cracked the bottle, and it leaked all down the wall, soking into the wood, leaving a horrid stain...

lucky u were not smoking, or using a angle grinder...

Mate I did the exact same thing 2 years ago when stripping JAM. Fuel everywhere. Killed all the weeds growing through the paving...

Actually, indirectly I am going to blame you, Dave, for this. Because it was you who said ages ago that you cleaned up your disc brakes with kero, so I remembered that and used kero last night for my suspension bits.....

Thanks a lot mate.....

Bwahaha

Hey it works well....and its cheap enough. Plus you can reuse it later on

Mind you a mate of mine has given me a tip. Theres a red degreaser made by chemtech that apparently is pretty good.

Yea I like the fact that you can re-use the kero......WHEN YOU DON'T SPILL IT ALL OVER THE FLOOR....

Murphy's Law States:
"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, at the worst possible time."

Personally I subscribe to O'Tool's law which states:
"Murphy was an optomist"

Murphy was a SOB
