I’ve seen it happen a million times. A tire shop does something wrong and scratches up a wheel for some reason. Sometimes it’s the wrong equipment. Sometimes it’s an untrained tech doing something flagrantly wrong. Sometimes it’s a great tech having a tool slip at the wrong moment. However it happens, it usually turns into a bad day for all involved. I know it well; not only did it happen in my shop on occasion, but I was also the guy that other installers generally called to refinish damaged wheels when it happened to them....

The comedy trio’s short films were incredibly popular with audiences worldwide in the 1930s and 1940s, and the group experienced a similarly-successful revival on television in the late 1950s and the 1960s. Though officially a trio, six actors served as members of the comedy team throughout its five-decade history, with two Stooges, Moe Howard (born Moses Harry Horwitz, June 19, 1897 - May 4, 1975) and Larry Fine (born Louis Feinberg, October 5, 1902 - January 24, 1975) remaining constant members, and several others—most famously Curly Howard (born Jerome Horwitz, October 22, 1903 - January 18, 1952)— filling the role as the third Stooge....
