• The varibles do not fit right yet. Maybe in a few years I will understand. I'm not good at math. I wash my hands and rub my hands trying to get the oil out of them so I can back the car out of the bay. The bottom of my palms are always caked with dirt. I only wash the front of my hands. (This has no deep/religious meaning, just me talking about washing my hands.) Well, if I were writing another version of Moby Dick about and I were Herman Melville AND it was based on the relationships and goals of auto mechanics, I would have to write chapter 78 on washing my hands with that green soap that you use to get the deep dirt out of my hands. Now if I were Melville I would be able to expand on the deep meanings and religiuos meanings of working class things and connecet them to the thoughts of a person. Let's give this a shot here brotherman. Scrubbing of the hands to get the grease out required a certain quickness and aggressiveness that could only clean deep. It required patience and calmness and a bit of faith that the customer in the office is not in a hurry. If the worker washed his hands lightly and not throughouly then when he handed the customer the keys to their car, his hands would still be greyish black making the customer question of this guy has motor oil all over their steering wheel and leather seats. Therefore it is key to wash your hands throughly and aggressively so that the customer will ultimately trusth the business and you personally. Now an auto mechanic who changes oil throughout the day will proabably wash their hands at least 10 times a day, maybe as a cheif would. As you pump out the green grisly soap, one woudl think about the environment(what does green grisly soap do to trees?) and the money spent on soap and the water being used that could be used for some reason in another country. "Oh, well maybe I could not wash my hands and only wash them once at the end of the day." Yes, auto mechanics think about the money that could be saved from buying soap/the stray cats that might drink the oily water. But this is a passing thought and lunch breaks and 5:30 and cell phones are closer to the front of the brain.
