4 Pieces of Flare No truck can not do without More flair Jimmy, more flair. This expression comes from the pie hole my stupid manager every morning. You see, he is the manager of the restaurant where I wait tables. You may have heard of him; Jolly Cantina. Anyway, Jolly is one of those restaurants that they fill with kitsch in an attempt to produce a certain atmosphere. " And, as an employee Jolly, it's my job to fill my uniform with flair and act as gay as possible.
The work would not be so bad if it was not for my boss, Miles. It is one of those restaurant managers who take very seriously its role. You know, one of those super skinny guys with a tie and a zit-pocked face who runs around so fast you'd swear he eats jet fuel for breakfast. Well, Miles and I do not see a view of the uniform requirements Jolly. I do the bare minimum that the rules stipulate, but Miles sees my efforts as purely mediocre. Therefore, every morning he bombards me with flair.
When I'm not waiting tables, I cruisin in my 2002 Dodge Ram with a Cummins diesel engine. This baby is sitting on a Sky High Kit 12 lifts "and 44 monster mudders. I have an AEM intake, Edge injectors, a Superchips Flash Paq and an MBRP 5 "exhaust. Needless to say that the old Dodge is one bad-ass beast of a platform.
The other night, driving home after a change of mind-numbing with Miles on my back, I stopped by the local COP. It is a way, the kind of cop that'd give your grandmother a ticket for being too old. I could not believe it, but old Roscoe pulled me over my tires. He said they came too far in the wheel wells. When I asked Barney Miller what I should do about it, "he said first pay the ticket, then get fender flares. All I could hear was the atmosphere of more than Jimmy, more flair.
When I calmed down, I realized that I could use these wings flares to help solve my flair problem with Miles. If that creep wanted more flair, he was gonna get it-in a big way. My plan was to simply install the flares and then show Miles what I did. The next time he calls for more flair, I'll draw his attention to my truck. "There walk for miles, all flaring flair you can handle.
Two nights later, I called in sick and had my shift covered by my buddy, Juan. During his break, Juan called me to tell me that Miles was fuming mad and cursing my name to those who would listen. He treated me goldbrick and a champion of mediocrity. It got so angry that I jumped in my truck and sped up to cross swords with Jolly Miles.
When I saw smoking a cigarette behind Miles Jolly burned all my mood. Without thinking, I mashed the throttle on that old Cummins and in a stream of black smoke I launched the Dodge right over Miles style Merkur XR4Ti monster truck. Large mudders were stirring glass and metal, throwing debris all over Jolly much feedback. The best part does not look stupid on the face of Miles, but the way my new bumper flares kept the flying debris from scratching my rig!
Ultimately, I lost my job, but I have a new career decline. The hours and wages are much, and I do not have to deal with more miles. And the mood I have to deal with the game is cool fender flares that are always done an excellent job of protecting my truck.
