Hey, you sass that hoopy limer?

I wouldn’t clip onto a hose, but maybe some plastic flashing or a plastic bracket. Most cars have something near the battery that would work. It’s not essential; just can make it a little easier.

The important thing is not to complete the circuit near a battery, since it can cause sparks which can ignite the flammable vapors that batteries tend to emit when discharging. This is especially important near the dead battery, which has potentially been discharging quite a lot recently.

So the usual sequence is:

1. Dead positive
2. Live positive
3. Live negative
4. Dead ground (to the metal chassis, ideally not right next to the battery)

I usually start by clipping the dead negative cable to something non-conductive to keep it out of the way and then move it to ground as the last step.

Right, my comment was more tongue-in-cheek than serious, though it’s always seemed odd to me that “bleeds more easily” got named “loves blood”.

So your plan is to become a professional kickboxer?

I believe that “a” is either “a” or “an”; it depends.

I’ve never had a bear move into my house or take up residence in one of my boots.

On the off chance that you’re like me and would prefer to know, the phrase is typically “case in point”.

As I recall, that demonstration was non-standard as they did not use the specified duct tape to attach the datagram to the carriers’ legs.

That wacky Einstein, still dilating time from beyond the grave.

And in the UK at least it’s a distinct word and meaning from whining. In the US I think we just use “whining” for both meanings.
