III. Bob’s Dad Thinks Tune-ups Take 2 Weeks to “Set”
Bob is a well-known auto engineer; you may have seen him on TV. He’s also one of the smartest guys I’ve ever met. His dad, not so much.
When Bob was young, his dad fancied himself a good amateur mechanic. He would tune-up the family car and then, about two weeks later, it would run great.
So, he lclaimed that these things take about 2 weeks to “set”. He swore by this theory.
What he didn’t know is that Bob, being a busy guy, didn’t get around to undoing what his father had done for about…..two weeks.
You kids might be treating dad like this in a few years...
