Hmmm, I work closely with an American who always loves to say "X couldn't
find his a-s with a funnel". Meaning, I assume, that at some time in one's
life a test had been administered involving mechanical instuments and
positional detection. I have seen tests for drunkedness with the testee
being obliged to find the tip of his nose with a finger. Is this the same
sort of thing but with the funnel added in for cleanliness and eas of reach?
What is this fixation Americans have with funnels? Are they a sort of
universal specific? A place to concentrate all the ills for easy treatment?
Is it some deep psychological sort of thing beyond normal comprehension, or
is it easily explained to a simple Canadian? Please use familiar symbols
such as beavers, igloos and maple syrup in your response to help
understanding. <g>

I have seen large funnel-like devices for sale for Chev V8 engines.
They
bolt on in place of the valve covers. They are big enough to catch all
the
oil and direct it back into the engine.
I suppose some time with a MIG could produce such a thing for Triumph
engines.
