Yeah, that thought occured to me to...
Mechanic to Srvc Mgr: "Like, wow, man. Check out this book I found, its like
as if the pictures correspond to the parts on the truck! Or at least thats my
theory so far. This could be real useful! I wonder if it diagrams the henway
assembly you were telling me about?"
Srvc Mgr: "Hand that to me immediately. Where did you find this? Are there
more? Get as many together as you can. The restroom has been out of TP for 3
days and these big pages should do just the trick nicely! You'll likely get a
nice bonus for this!"
