In my life of fitting tyres, (tires?) I was worked with a young gent, who I had asked to inflate a large truck tyre, after I had fitted it to the rim. I explained that after he had pumped it up, I would get him to help me heave it up over the side of the tipper body of the truck the wheel belonged to.
We both lifted the tyre up and over, then he grabbed an airline and inflation chuck, and started to climb up into the tipper. I asked where he was going? His responce was delightful. He had only pumped up the tyre a small amount so that it would be lighter for us to lift in, and now was going to fully inflate the tyre..... I confess that I said nothing, but had to leave urgently so he wouldn't see me laughing so bad.
