This an actual event that took place yesterday at an intersection of a main highway and my road.(true story)
Trust me, you cant make this stuff up!
Ok, I had my jeep at PJ's having a little work done.
Work was completed, so I picked up the jeep and drove it home. Work being done had nothing to do with what happened next. PJ does great work by the way.
About a mile from my road, I noticed a major drag on the jeep. It was straining and when I let off the gas, it plumb near stopped. Like an anchor was dropped. Then I smelled a familiar smell, of burning brakes. I knew from past experiance that my caliper had siezed up.(pass. side) No problem only a little farther, I said to myself. I turned in to the right and the pass. side slid and squeeled a little.(locked up) I stopped to take a look at it, in the intersection.Just as I looked at the cherry red rotar, the dang thing flamed up, right before my eyes.
I guess it was a little brake fluid , who knows?
Anyway, since i have been getting this jeep trail ready , I had all my safety stuff back at home, meaning no fire extinguisher!
I was about to panic, I had no water in a bottle or any way to put it out.....BUT....I did have to piss like a russian race horse.
So in a halfway squatted position, I aimed at the top hole in the wheel and heard the sizzle. It was working, and as I stood there in my own pee steam, I was proud to be a man! I guess an important lesson was learned..... Dont pee before you leave home 
Oh ..Did I mention this was at a busy highway?
Thats good stuff right there! Dylan
