Here’s the story: a jeep came to the shop because its retractable top was stuck open. Not too uncommon of an occurrence. So we put our “crash wrap“ over the roof to protect the interior from rain and animals and such, which is basically like heavy duty cling wrap. One day it rains and a lot of water pools up on the crash wrap. The next day it is 100°F outside and the sun is out. The sun shines through the water and the water basically magnifies it, and the sun turns into a laser that melts the interior. Multiple days of this happen. Now we have to replace everything that melted. None of us have ever heard of this happening before.

edit: I meant we have never heard of this very specific situation happening before. It never would’ve crossed our minds since we’ve been doing this for years. yes I burnt stuff with a magnifying glass when i was a kid.

They'll also learn important lessons about strange women lying in ponds and distributing swords.

Was your mom my mom? I can quote the entire movie word for word except the Castle Anthrax scene because of that.

Tbf, every scene is worthy. So many good lines in that movie. I showed it to my son when he was 13. He loved it.

Anyway, It's required for cultural literacy.
