Mondays at the tire shop

[Fun finders]

He remembered it as soon as I told him a title, but said he wanted to hear the other two now when he came back for the vehicle.

How about sharing the jokes with us

How about sharing the jokes with us

I probably already have if I could. One is kinda religious. Let me look back and see if I have and will link to them.

Another one is a modified version of this joke:

A man from Texas, driving a Volkswagen Beetle, pulls up next to a guy in a Rolls Royce at a stop sign. Their windows are open and he yells at the guy in the Rolls, "Hey, you got an air conditioner in that Rolls?"

The guy in the Rolls says, "Yes, of course I do.."

"I got one too... see?" the Texan says.

"Uh, huh, yes, that's very nice."

"You got a fax machine?" asks the Texan.

"Why, actually, yes, I do."

"I do too! See? Its right here!" brags the Texan.

The light is just about to turn green and the guy in the Volkswagen says, "So, do you have a double bed in back there?"

The guy in the Rolls replies, "NO! Do you?"

"Yep, got my double bed right in back here," the Texan replies.

The light turns and the man in the Volkswagen takes off. Well, the guy in the Rolls is not about to be one-upped, so he immediately goes to a customizing shop and orders them to put a king size bed in back of his car. About two weeks later, the job is finally done. He picks up his car and drives all over town looking for the Volkswagen beetle with the Texas plates. Finally, he finds it parked alongside the road, so he pulls his Rolls up next to it.

The windows on the Volkswagen are all fogged up and he feels somewhat awkward about it, but he gets out of his newly modified Rolls and taps on the foggy window of the Volkswagen.

The man in the Volkswagen finally opens the window a crack and peeks out.

The guy with the Rolls see the VW guy doesn't have any clothes on says, "Hey, remember me?"

"Yeah, yeah, I remember you," replies the Texan, "What's up?"

"Check this out...I got a king size bed installed in my Rolls."

The Texan exclaims, "WHAT!!!! YOU GOT ME OUT OF THE SHOWER JUST TO TELL ME THAT?"

but when we were in high school we listened to Led Zep and Black Sabbath way too loud and probably seemed oblivious to our elders too.................... probably why I have a hearing loss today.............

When I was a senior in high school, almost 50 years ago, we had a "Senior Lounge". I think it was an old storage room the school let high school seniors use as a lounge. It had an old couch, a few chairs, a coffee table, a soda machine, and an 8-Track tape player. We had two 8-Track tapes: Black Sabbath Volume 4 and The Doobie Brothers The Captain and Me. They played non-stop for months. The guidance counselor's office was next door and we irritated him to no end with the music and by hanging out the window of the lounge to smoke cigarettes. I will ignore any requests to explain what an 8-Track tape is.

I have an 8-track player still and it will plug into the aux jack of your stereo. Just in case there are tapes still out there

With the average age of posters on this site being close to 60, I doubt you'll get many such requests.

I probably wore out several ELO "Out of the Blue" 8-tracks. Their "Turn to Stone" is still my favorite song to this day.

Back in 1980 in Witchita Falls, TX. I had all of my 8 tracks stolen out of my car. The only one they left (in the player) was the James Bond soundtrack - "Live & Let Die". I took it as a sign.

somewhere around here I still have my original storage box with about 30 of my fav's from the 70's in it. also have a working player. I will get around to moving them to digital someday....

And that is the best Bond title song of them all. It's so great even Axl Rose(Guns-n-Roses) couldn't damage it with their version. LOL

I have the Bond title songs on a CD, and played it a lot when teaching my son to drive. He knew Live and Let Die was my favorite and would purposefully skip over it when it started. I can still hear him saying "Always skip 9" (it was the ninth track) as he changed tracks. He about got left out in the boonies several times.

But you'll miss the ambiance of having the 8-Track player eat the tape, and then the 10' of tape flapping around in your car while you try to extricate the tape from the player.

My parents are from Bowie. I'm surprised you didn't lose more than that in Wichita.

hahaha, I remember that well. And then later getting cassette tapes eaten in the same way. I remember too how happy Mom was driving her new Lincoln Continental in the early 80s and keeping a big leather suitcase-type storage case of 8-tracks on the passenger floorboard. It was usually just John Denver though in the player.

When I switched from 8-Track to cassette, I bought albums and transferred the music to my tapes. That way if the tapes get stolen, ruined in the sun, worn out, I still have the vinyl. And now today, I still play the albums.

How many of you all out there remember the 4 track players?

Not me, but I do remember records on the back of cereal boxes. LOL

I have a 4 track player I bought in a '66 Plymouth Satellite in early 1969. As far as I know, it's in my attic if it hasn't melted from the Texas heat. It is open-sided so it would take an over-sized tape. I have a couple of examples each containing 4 LP albums!

Who remembers the rubber wheel that would snap in the hole and would allow 4 track tapes to play on 8 track players?

If you don't, go look it up on YouTube, probably "4 track techmoan" will find it.

If I recall, one was The Archies singing "Sugar, Sugar".
