Description:
The trouble with Jack is…everything. No one wants Jack. No one likes Jack. He's cold, cruel, and nasty. And, basically, everyone wants Jack to just GO AWAY. But, he won't. Jack comes out of no where. And, you just can't predict when he'll show up…or how foul spirited and bad tempered he might be when he arrives.
Oh, sure. At first, he seems nice enough. He comes on bright and cherry, just like those other guys. Flirting a little bit, easing you into a false sense of safety and security. But don't let him fool you. First, he'll lure you down a sunny road, whistling a happy tune. Then, he'll turn, without warning, into a dark and gloomy spirit who'll lash you with his sharp tongue…give you the cold shoulder…and leave you abandoned by the side of the road. Warn your children! Jack is a cold-hearted devil who loves to ruin a good time…especially around the holidays!
But, there's a way to beat Jack at his own game. And if you know the rules, you can win the game nearly every time. But first, you must accept one, cold-hard fact:
JACK IS HERE TO STAY…for a couple of months anyway!
The Art of Beating Jack at his own game:
Rules: 1. Make sure your Chariot is in good working condition. Check tires and tread Make sure you have enough horse power Fill it up Check fluids: Jack hates Antifreeze, Deicer and Windshield fluid
2. Plan your attack. Know how to get where you are going. Review your course before you leave. Check maps and copy directions. (Drivers Elite trip routing services link) Stash extra cash in case your Chariot becomes disabled. (Drivers Elite emergency cash reimbursements link) Be prepared.
3. Chose your weapons. Flashlight…to spot him in the dark. Ice Scraper and Brush…to chip away at him. Jumper Cables…extra energy if you poop out. Shovel…to dig out if he buries you. Sand, Cat litter, or traction mats…to get away faster. Blankets…to hide under so he doesn't see you.
4. Bring in the heavy artillery. Flares and warning devices…when you need backup Emergency Roadside Assistance Plan…he'll never expect it. Cell phone…to stay in touch. This really bothers Jack.
So, now you know. Beating Jack is as easy as 1-2-3…and, ok…4. It can be done! And, it's not even hard. All you have to do is plan it out, think it through and be prepared.
Let's face it, Jack will never go away. But, you can turn the heat up on him anytime.
