  1. I’m 52 now, but I can remember when I was a little boy, I was in foster care with this black family (the only white kid in the house-go figure). One particular day, I was riding around in a car with the black kid who was the biological son of the woman whose house it was, and some of his friends, and the car had a blowout on one of the rear tires. (Passenger side, I think.) I don’t remember what kind of car it was, but this kid and his friends were using this bumper jack under the back bumper of the car to try to raise it up enough to remove the old tire and mount the spare. And I’m standing there on the sidewalk watching them doing this. All of a sudden, without any warning whatsoever, the car fell off the bumper jack, and the bumper jack shot out and hit one of the black kids in the face HARD, and he hit the deck, bleeding all over the place. And I remember that the thing it reminded me of (and still does) was the day that the assassination attempt on President Reagan occurred (1980, I think), and James Brady also was shot and was bleeding pretty profusely as well. So back to the bumper jack incident, I don’t remember if the kid who was hit by the bumper jack pulled through alright or not (I hope he did), but from that day forward I swore to myself that I would never, ever use those things myself, or be anywhere near anyone else who was using one. Bumper jacks are about the most dangerous ways there is to lift a car. Whoever invented those stupid things ought to have the dog piss choked out of him!!!!
