LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Microsoft analyst has won an annual contest celebrating bad writing by comparing fixing carburetors to fondling a woman's breasts.
"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual," went Dan McKay's winning entry in the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.

I can see this as a really bad pickup line... "Hey baby - need your carbs adjusted" or as yet another euphemism for breasts: "man, her carbs are runnin pretty rich, if you know what I mean"
Yikes ... OK fine But I aint paying you for working on the carbs ... :lol:
Cool.

any guy who's looking at breasts but thinking about carbs has problems.
It isn't unusual for me to be looking at carbs but actually be thinking about breasts.
Remember the MMI commercial....
"....you can smell a carb running rich from a mile away...."
Just keep away from the exhaust.....

OK I haven't had speedV in over 3 years ... but OK if you can smell the damn thing ... you're either standing and revving it ... or it will run so poorly that it will not even get out of your driveway ... so who is smelling a carb being rich ...
Cool.
