Jerry The Junkyard Operator
To make a long introduction short I end up at a junkyard trying to find a part for a car that I am selling:

So I am at the junkyard and this guy comes out of a trailer and his name is Jerry. I noticed a few things. First, he wouldn't stop talking and second, he is wearing Hollywood cowboy boots with spurs and there are no horses around. So Jerry says, "The GM section is,,, see that fence?, It's got a hole in it and you walk through the hole and keep going past the auto crusher and you'll find the model." "OK, Jerry", so I start walking with my ratchet wrench and there is broken auto stuff everywhere in piles and thrown on the ground and I am thinking, "You can do this, it's a challenge, a man challenge, this is good for you". So I continue walking between car piles and all is good and I step down on what appears to be dirt and I hit quicksand, my right foot and shoe go down to the point where mud enters way above the sock area. Oh man, I then realize that I am so far out of my element that I turned around and walked straight out to my car to go home and here comes Jerry, "Hey, did you get the part?",  "No Jerry, it was beyond my abilities", I said.  I drove off and bought the part on the internet and attached it myself. Jerry has no idea that he inspired this piece.
