etc.
Perhaps my response is too serious for this thread.

OK, maybe it has run its comedic life, which probably wasn't very long to begin with. I will leave the observational humor to Seinfeld and the pros, it's dangerous in the hands of an amateur.
I agree sometimes people say "CR No. 1" to come to the aid of someone. But usually not. Usually it seems like it someone who really thinks they have thought of a really brilliant "angle." But I see the point, CR No. 1 does have a time and place.
I totally agree with Sherwood, though. I always wonder about "experts" giving engine rebuild advice when they have never rebuilt an engine, "experts" saying "I've never seen X happen, therefore it never happens" when of course they have not seen it, they have only owned one or two (or none) 911s in their life, etc. Seems like just a bunch of smoke to me.
I think people accept it, though, because most people view as an "expert" anyone who knows more than 5% than they do on a subject.
I've chuckled about that for years.
Which is what makes JWW, Otto, and others who work on and see these cars every day, day after day, year after year, of such value, IMO. Agree or disagree with their take on an issue, they have a foundation/basis for their opinion. They are giving away for free what people normally have to pay for.
