Well, Lou, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. When I got married I had a motorcycle in pieces and my new, understanding, bride didn't give me a lot of grief when I assembled these boxes of parts into a motorcycle in the living room. I would have gotten out relatively unscathed had I remembered to put in the drain plug before I started dumping oil into the beast...
I guess all's well that ends well and that was 40 years ago and she hasn't tossed me out yet!
Mike - if you made 'em light up and look festive you might get away with it, I wuz just tryin' to help ya out...
