[Vwdiesel] Volvo brake question

[Dave Cook]

Did you hear about the guy who was working on his brakes and some fluid dripped into his mouth?  He found it actually tasted pretty good.

So his buddy came by, and upon finding his friend sipping the brake fluid asked, "What are you doing?  You can't drink that, it is poisonous!"  

The guy responded, "Its ok, I can stop anytime I want!"


Ha ha haaa
