I'm not a wrench but I have read lots of car mags through the years. This is the first time I've ever read it presented like this. Sounds simple enough .....


"The basics of the four stroke engine are still the same: suck, squeeze, bang and blow."


Does this sound familiar to anyone? Of course, this principle can be applied in other applications.

yea... familier with the terms. It really makes it easy to explain an engines operation with the more common words...

A two stroke is simply suck-blow. Does them both very quickly.

I believe the 4 stroke capability begins its painful demise immediately upon the female reciting the words "I DO". In addition, the gold band around her finger acts as 'SSBB' agonist, and has been linked to sudden personality disorders, most of which are irreversible to date.
Studies have shown that the introduction of other types of jewlery, specifically diamonds, will temporarally restore the 'SSBB' capability of the species; however, this is in no way a cure for this deficiency. Alcohol has also been shown to temporarally restore 'SSBB' activity; however, alcohol should be used with extreme caution as it can manifest many undesirable side effects which would completely negate any gain in 'SSBB' capabilty.

It is critical to note also that each addition of fine diamonds or jewlery will create a 'tolerance', if you will, and future additions will have to be greater than the previous additions in order to create the same level of 'SSBB' response (or environment-as response is not guaranteed at any level or at any time).
