The story of Two Ton Jack

A couple of years ago my brother was in an auto parts store with his wife's friend. They were looking for car jacks and my brother called the friend over and said, "I think we're going to need help with this." The friend asked why and my brother said, "Well the sticker on here says it weighs two tons." The sad thing is that my brother was being serious. The friend had to explain that that is how much the jack can support. We all had a good laugh when they got back and told us about it. From then on, my brother has had a nick name: Two Ton Jack.

That's a funny video. I'm still laughing. I'll be looking forward to reading your stories.

I just thought of another nickname my brother got. When he got married he couldn't get past his name without laughing. It took something like ten tries to get it right. He kept laughing hysterically. I called him Lord Ha Ha after that.

Another time, we were at a powwow and dancing was over for the day. He and his brother in law decided to explore these woods. The woods were less than an acre and they somehow got lost. I had to lead a group of friends in to get them out. That one earned him the nickname of Pathfinder. He got another that same powwow. It was Free ball or Freeble. I'm not going into how he earned it, as it might violate t&Cs but if you think about it you can guess.

Well, there seems to be a Monty Python sketch for every occasion.

It sure does. Sometimes I think life is one big Monty Python sketch.
