Speaking of batteries...have you ever had to carry a car battery? |
|
I had to carry one about 3 miles once.
Holy.Fucking.God.
If it doesn't sound difficult to you...try it.

just from my house to the street one very early winter morning when it was -25 and my car wouldn't start, and I had this other battery I'd kept after I got rid of a beat-up old car, so anyhow when my car refused to start I lugged the warm battery out to the car and in that insane cold I swapped batteries and the car started right up. But the battery was damn heavy.

13. Started off as a crotch wobble... |
|
Then, when I was just about in tears, I had to figure out another way, so I think I ended up wadding up my shirt for padding and carrying it on my shoulder.
Damn...I think I was sore for 2 weeks.

14. Oh, you misunderstood... |
|
I assume the jumper cables are attached so your mighty erection could charge the battery.

15. Yup, and every step I did a shoulder shrug to hit my traps. |
|
Switch hands every 12 reps. Helluva workout.

16. Shoot. I got that beat. I had to carry TANK batteries when I was in the Army. |
|
The longest I had to carry one was just about a mile, though. So you win on distance, at least...
Sorry you had to go through that, bro...

17. If you think that's heavy, you should try an aircraft battery. |
|
One out of a boeing or airbus. Damn thing nearly takes two people.
