My grandfather had a saying that I heard many times growing up. When something he was working on became stubborn he would say "The SOB (only he would say the real thing) that invented this should have died before he thought of it."

Forward 60 years or so.... I was working with these same retainers from Mac's for my `35 Cabriolet and my wife was helping me. After several attempts without me saying a word my wife said. "I agree with your grandfather." I broke up laughing so hard. We eventually got them installed. Hopefully the next owner will put them in the next time.
