black pepper

Since it is slow here I would like to tell you something that is true. My brother had a freeze plug leaking and it looked like someone taking a ****. A oldtimer told him to put black pepper in the radator. He put a can in and it stoped leak. He never put a new freeze plug in and it never started leaking again.

This was back in the late 60s. I guess it started leaking on the person he sold the car to!

I remember working at a muffler & radiator shop back in the early '70's....

We had a couple of Hispanic guys come in, who had been surf fishing on the coast. When they got ready to head for home, they noticed the radiator was leaking. So, they topped it up, and started back. Along the way, the car (a 1962 Rambler wagon)
started overheating. They stopped, and not having any coolant, poured off some of the water they had in a large tub where they had put their catch of the day. Noticing the radiator was leaking pretty good by now, one of the guys put a whole box of pepper into the thing...Well, they made it back to town, and the first place they stopped was...you guessed it, the radiator shop! By now the fishy salt water and the pepper was making the car REEK...Gad! it was nasty! We replaced the radiator, and flushed out the block...but the car still smelled of fish and pepper....I ended up with the shop truck, hauling the old radiator to the dump....PHEW!!

OMG that was funny
It reminds me of the time when I went fishing. We found a great spot that we called our 'fishing hole'. In fact it was so good that we marked an "X" on the side of the boat so we knew where to find it next time we went fishing. [drum roll please... ba-dump-bump]
