Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration

"If you leave your vehicle's engine running during a delay in proceeding (traffic-jam, road construction, accident-resolution, "stuck" red signal-light, etc.), you will be sitting there for many minutes, just wasting gas. The instant you turn the key off and climb out of your seat to stretch, however, THAT'S when the line of traffic will begin moving again, and thus you will have shut off your engine "for nothing", AND you will now be holding up everyone behind you while you hastily hop back into the driver's seat and re-start the engine so that you can move forward again."

I finally took da plunge and bought a second-hand Toyota Prius because I'd eventually had one too many cases of Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration... the Prius automatically shuts down its power during stand-stills, and then uses its electric motor to provide instant mobility as soon as you're ready to go again.

The pilot's pushing enough throttle to suck FOD into the engines!

A term used to describe extremely energetic anal sex, where "the pilot pushing throttle" refers to powerful pelvic thrusts, and "sucking FOD (foreign object debris) into the engines" = the lady's undercarriage having spooge, cum, etc. squirted into it!

Derived from when Donald Trump's wig was blown off his head by a gust of wind and sucked into a jet engine.

Adam: Hey Daniel! Tracy!! Keep the noise down in there!!

Daniel: (provocative tone) oh sorry we didn't DISTURB YOU, did we?!

Adam: Yes you most certainly did! Second time tonight as well. What in the name of Jesus are you doing?!!

Daniel: 5 words : It's. A. Full.. Moon. Tonight.

Tracy: basically, owing to the full moon, the pilot's pushing enough throttle to suck FOD into the engines!
