Thanks for the vote of confidence

Let's say for the sake of argument that you've taken your car to the mechanic to get its frangizipple alternated. He knows that you're not going to be able to pay him, but he agrees to do the work because you've been a decent customer in the past, and have been eyeing the high-margin hybrid on the lot. The mechanic tells you that it is going to be a while before he can get to it, because he has other paying customers to take care of first. Do you:

1. Ask when the work might be done?
2. Help things along by explaining to the mechanic in precise terms just how to alternate a frangizipple?

Here's a tip. If you answer (b), you better damn well have a lift in your garage with all the necessary accouterments, not to mention lightning reflexes to avoid the frangizipple that is going to come flying at your idiot little head.

Just sayin'.
