MacGyver BBQ
MacGyver – we all know this guy. He got this gig at the refinery as an operator. But he can still send the Mars Rover into space with a stick of gum, a paperclip and a rubber band.
He struts around his facilities seeking challenges. Soon enough he finds one. There’s a clogged bleeder valve. The company policy is to use a bleeder cleaner. No matter to MacGyver, he’s found a more expedient way. He picks up an old welding rod and bends it to a right angle. “Now that’s about right,” he says to himself. Then he gets down on hands and knees and opens the clogged bleeder valve. The valve moves grudgingly after a few turns of the valve handle. “Now that’s a tough one,” he quips. No matter, he’s got experience with this technique. He shoves the welding rod into the bleeder valve. A blast of super-heated combustible oil jets out of the valve. He tries to close the valve quickly but it won’t budge. “!@#$%^,” he says, then jumps up to run. An enormous gas cloud begins to form as he sprints away. MacGyver wastes no time and gets on the radio. But he’s nothing if he not smart. He calls his friend Dano.
“Hey Dano, this is MacGyver,” he says into his radio. He’s thinking fast now. The gas cloud is enormous, but it hasn’t ignited. “I can close that stubborn valve before that cloud bursts into flames. Nobody’s gonna hear about this little drama,” he thinks. “Dano, get my back,” he screams. “I’m going in.”
Dano doesn’t answer, because Hawaii Five-O got cancelled.
A few moments later MacGyver’s show was also cancelled.
