Default How my 928sRus shirt by Roger Tyson Saved My Life.

How my 928sRus shirt by Roger Tyson saved my life.


While working under my 928, I heard a sudden single ‘pop’ noise similar to a champagne cork coming free from a fresh bottle. I thought not much of it even though it felt as I got sprayed with a bit of the champagne. Could it be some sweet woman surprising me with a bit of bubbly to celebrate how wonderful I am? (No such luck but a boy can dream.) The wetness that hit me was starting to feel unpleasantly tingly and a tad uncomfortable. I got out from under the car to discover that the ‘pop’ sound was not from an attractive and scantily clad woman looking longingly at me with an open bottle of champagne but was the sound of a battery on a charger on my floor that was not venting properly and built up enough pressure to blow out the case and splash me with battery acid. The increasing tingling sensation just under the wet spots on my 928sRus shirt confirmed the scenario. I tore off the shirt and hit the shower. The next thing I washed was the 928sRus shirt.
Apparently, Roger spent a lot on the research and development of this material and design. I am not sure but there may even be some Kevlar woven into the fabric and kept undisclosed to protect the design secrets for the military contract that he may be working under and be sworn to secrecy. Anyway, it saved my flesh from burning off my body.

Here is a photo or two of the superbly protective gear supplied by Roger….
(Sorry. No scantily clad, sexy woman for the model. Just me. But I will gladly re-shoot the photos if a volunteer comes forward.)

Cheers!


Allen in Allentown, PA

Allen, glad you're OK. Could have been much worse. What are the chances of that happening while you were right there? Jeez.

When I first received THE 928sRus Shirt, I attempted to cut the sleeves of to enhance the already breathtaking manliness of this shirt. Unfortunately, as soon as the scissors touched the shirt, they burst into flames and vanished. I researched the symbolism behind THE (928sRus Shirt) and found correlations to the most ancient of rituals and powers. This shirt was first used by the pharaohs as it helped extend their lives and grant them mystical powers. Qin Shi Huangdi wore this shirt as well as he united ancient china AND built the great wall. It is rumored that the famed Oracle and Delphi wore this shirt as he interpreted the words of the gods. Some scholars even maintained that Chuck Norris was the original designer of this shirt and wore it when he designed the continents. The power of the shirt is eternal and has been granted to us mere mortals. As I discovered the omnipotence of this power, I quickly ordered the rest that 928sRus had in stock. However, I will say this. Because there is only one perfect entity in existence (the Flying Spaghetti Monster), the shirt has one minor flaw: NOT ENOUGH 928s.



and for those that don't get it:

Gotta submit this to the 928 Shrine. That is if it still exists.

Maybe he is just saving up his luck and taking it in chunks. In this case the fluid could have landed about 6inches to the right. I used to consider myself unlucky until the day the aluminum ball joint on my '82 came apart at about 1mph on a city street. The day before I had bombed up I 5 from LA to SF, weaving between semi rigs at 100+ with my pregnant wife in the passenger seat. If I am never lucky again, I'm good.
