How to change a tire

Once upon a time, Greg Grimes was giving his teenage daughter and her friend a lesson on how to change a tire. It was all very straight forward and routine until he brought out a crowbar and explained how it actually worked as a multipurpose tool on a windy day. Not only could you change your tire with it, but you could also weigh down your skirt.  

Greg loved teaching his children things, especially the proper use of firearms. Only sometimes it was trial and error like the time he gave Diana a right-handed Muzzleloader not realizing that it cannot be fired from the left-hand side. When Diana, who happened to be ambidextrous (a skill she developed while sitting through church), fired the riffle she got a black powder charge on her left forearm. Her father studied the situation carefully before exclaiming, "So that's how that works." 

But Diana's favorite life lessons from her father had to be learning how to drive and doing donuts in empty parking lots. It was also a treat to see him pull out his pocket knife, which he fondly referred to as his "international communicator," and hear him say, "All you have to do is raise the antenna and you can speak in more than a hundred languages!"
