There is a problem with my car where the brake lights don’t go off. One day last week when I tried to leave for work, I was greeted with a DEAD car. Kev was able to diagnose that the little padding thingy that’s on the switch that turns the brake lights on and off with the brakes had worn out.
Yes, those are all technical terms. Shut up.
Temporary fix failed a few days later. SO! Kev is putting on a more permanent fix.
Did he go to the store and buy a new padding thingy?
HELL NO!
Kev: *holds up round plastic thing* I found this! It’s the bottom footing for a computer that I never used! I can zip tie it in place.
Me: *gigglesnort*
Kev: whaaaaat?
Me: Is there any way you can also incorporate duct tape into this fix? Because this is soooo ghetto redneck.
Kev: I can put duct tape on, and then use the zip tie to hold the duct tape in place! What do you think of that?
Me: HAWT!!!!!
Everyone should have a partner so considerate.

He’s not a redneck, he’s an improviser. Like MacGyver!
He’s bonafide! I’m sorry, were we not doing “O Brother, Where Art Thou” quotes?
