Jack

[John Larson]

You said:  "Dear Old Retired Fart:  $100 used to be a lot of money. 
Today it will fill your gas tank.

Harbor Freight, purvey of all things cheap and Chinese, has some selections. 
Here's a bottle jack for <$100. No guessing how many times it will work.  :) 

So you're saying that not only does Bob not know jack, he doesn't understand money either?

Sorry, Bob, I've been mulling over that all day ...................  John
