All car forums..... funny as

-JJ- · #1 10-27-2005, 05:02 AM

this came from a 4wd forum, but still funny as hell

How many forum members does it take to change a tyre??

1 to change the tyre and to post that the tyre has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing tyres and how the tyre could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing tyres
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing tyres
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "tyre" or "wheel"
... another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "wheel"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "tyre" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about tyres and to please take this discussion to a tyre forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use tyres and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing tyres is superior, where to buy the best tyres, what brand of tyres work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different tyres
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes tyres relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the tyre controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on tyres before posting questions about tyres"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

It would be funnier if it wasn't so true. ;-)
