[SEL] O.T. Car Battery fix ??...maybe a jump start

[Skip Cleveland]

Don't do it, Jerry. Your tractor might start in gear, yank the refridgerator 
plug out the wall, the light might blind you and the thing might just burn 
your car to the ground by charging it.
Oh yes, don't drink anything for a while. It might be battery acid and stay 
away from the old engines and tractors, they are way to dangerous.

Last tag.
