I heard this to be true, but I can't swear to it.
Neil and were between here and there in the outback on a scorcher of a summer day. They were driving an old '74 Datsun P/U for some reason unknown.
Suddenly the pickup began to sputter and came to an abrupt stop.
"Dang were stranded now!" Neil exclaimed.
"No problem!" replied matter-of-factly, "It's just a gummed up carbarator. Just put a little petrol in that hub cap while I take 'er apart."
As quickly as you could rough out a green bowl, had it apart and cleaned! His only tool was a pocket knife. Then it was back together before you could put down your gouge.
Before they could dump out the hub cap, a thirsty dingo spotted the only liquid for miles. He ran over and commenced to have a brew. After about a minute, that dog realized that it wasn't water he was drinking!
Off like a flash, he was! It was so dry and sp**** that you could see him running for nearly a mile, flat out, he was at full throttle, just a hauling as#!
Suddenly, he fell over and didn't move a muscle!
Neil and just looked at each other with jaws hanging wide open.
"Think he's dead?" Neil asked as he gained his compossure.
"Na!" was 's reply, "E's just run out of gas!"
That's the way I heardit; it must be true.
