When we first joined the partnership, I asked if gasoline was supposed to be dripping from the carburetor of the A4. The response was, "Well it works, doesn't it?" He's a good man and I never held it against him that he was a lawyer. Of course, sometimes those guys think they can talk their way out of any problem!
Soon after that I became the boat's chief engineer. No more gas leaks. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it!
