In Defense of The Flaps Guy

We often make fun of the poor FLAPS guy, who can’t look up a part without year make and model “I need a plug one grade hotter than a NGK BPR6ES” or whatever, but I have to say I felt sorry when I stopped by O’Reilly’s on Sunday and the guy next to me “needed a spark plugs for his log splitter”. “Uh, who makes the splitter?” “I don’t know its a log splitter, it is like a lawn more engine” “Do you know who makes the motor? Tecumseh?, Briggs and Stratton?” “Its for a log splitter, I need a spark plug for a log splitter”. At the point I left the parts counter guys were being pretty patient and the log splitter guy, who was visibly getting pissed.
