I don't know about savings lives, but my brother-in-law's pipes are loud enough to wake the dead.

I'll have him go visit this guy and he can re-animate him.

That was great of you to stop. A lot of folks these days don't.

He was probably trying to tell you where his pills were so that you could grab one for him and save his life. Too bad you couldn't hear him over your revving!

Did the tornado move away after it heard you? ... cuz that's what happened to me once. A tornado was coming right towards me, probably talking on the cell phone and didn't even see me. I revved my engine and it moved away. It ended up hitting a bunch of houses, but, it didn't matter because none of them were mine.

Funny you should bring that up...had a toranado come at me in Ohio once ..blipped the throttle a few times....didn't seem to bother it and damn near blew me into West Virginia! Wasn't so bad but WV has a helmet law and I wasn't wearin one...now you think one of those west by god cops is gonna believe that story!
