Got a video this week from a faithful and prolific contributor. It may very well be one of the things that are so old, you guys will groan. Back to the Weeville email network - we're so far behind on what's been already gone around, even Years ago. All he said was, "Will This Work?"
He's done that before. "Will This work?" Like I know anything. I just go to Snopes and tell him what I found. This one wasn't on Snopes.
I won't waste bandwidth, yours or mine, by posting the video. I can describe it and you won't gain a bit more information by seeing it. It was of grade-D-minus video quality but it showed a lady who had a tennis ball with a round hole burned or drilled in it. And according to the blurry text in the video, this only works on cars that have a key fob remote door unlock.
She put the hole in the tennis ball against the keyhole in the car door and pushed on the tennis ball as hard as she could, and the pressure of the air inside the fantastically complicated lock tumbler syetem made the door lock pop open.
I probably have a tennis ball in the garage. I really do think I do. I used one on a string to tell me where to stop Bubba the truck without hitting the work bench and still have an inch behind his back bumper to allow the garage door to close. Crude, but it works. So I think there's still a new tennis ball out there somewhere, still in the tube.
I am not about to waste a perfectly (new) tennis ball by drilling a hole in it and proving that I am so on the inside blonde after all. My comments were:
I see that either of three ways.
A.) It's meant to be funny and the producers just sat back and only imagined how many blondes will put a hole in a tennis ball to try it.
B.) It was put out by a tennis ball company to sell balls to folks who don't even play tennis.
C.) If that DOES work, I hope the bad guys never see it...
peewee
The guy wrote back and said he thought the same things and thought of item "C" first!

We even leave the keys in them. If you can get most of them started and out of the driveway before I arrive with a rifle, well you are a pretty good mechanic and you will probably treat it better than I do.
