[quote=Lady72nRob71;36853]Does that still work? My ex-ladyfriend claims it does, but I never got more than a few drops out. I am thinking that was an "old day" trick!
Lady72nRob 71 I haven’t tried it in about 40 years so I’m really not sure you can do it with the newer pumps.

I can vividly remember the first electric garage door I ever encountered. I was working for an outdoor furniture company delivering metal furniture. Come to think of it, I was working with the same guy whose dad owned the radio station I mentioned earlier.
One day we were making a delivery of some tables and chairs in a newer subdivision. We unwrapped the blanket covering a glass top breakfast room table, took it out of the Ford van, and carried it into the garage and set it down under the open garage door. I nonchalantly strolled through the garage and walked up to the kitchen door and pushed what I thought was the doorbell and all of a sudden the garage door started coming down.
I had not the first clue what was going on, I froze, mouth agape, in awe as if my “desert boots” were welded to the concrete floor. I watched a glass top table worth a month’s wages slowly grow closer to be destroyed by a garage door. My life flashed in front of me, knowing my boss would take it out of my hide and I would be the Indentured Servant of the company for the rest of my life.
Fortunately, the housekeeper came to the door and punched the button, I had mistaken for a doorbell, to stop the descending door in time to save my life.
