That's a tame story by my "mechanic" standards. I remember having a virtual "cartoon" type experience trying to hold the oil container under the oil stream coming out of the oil pan. One second the stream was over here, another second it was over there. All the while, at each directional change in the stream of oil, thinking it was the last one, and me trying to get the oil bucket in the right place each time.
