Took my car in for repair. Strange noises from under the hood. Previous repair shops had picked up hints on their diagnostic equipment, but had no explanation.
Little did I know that the mechanic assigned to my vehicle this time, had recently been dismissed from his engineering job at Area 51, by the Pentagon.
After a long stint in the waiting room, I got my car back. It still had the mysterious noise, but this time there was a lengthy report stapled to the bill.
"The noise you're hearing could be due to a technologically advanced part manufactured in China or Russia.
Or it could be advanced American technology that is simply too classified to identify. We can't confirm or rule out either of these possibilities.
It might be a naturally occurring phenomenon like a worn bearing or fouled spark plug.
Might be oil-borne clutter, such as a fast moving wad of gum left in there from the last guy who serviced the car.
We can't rule out the possibility that there might be alien cogs and whazzits from the Bermuda Triangle, banging around in there, launched from a secret undersea base.
Bottom line: the noise is not your imagination, but we have no idea what's causing it. Official explanation: could be this, could be that. Might even be something else. The truth is out there. We take Visa and Mastercard."
