My history of changing my own oil is littered with "if only" and "maybe next time."
Each time I learn a new and calamitous lesson.
I imagine that if I worked at a Mr. Lube or whatever the conversation would go something like:
"Locke. We have to let you go. You have screwed up, in what could only be considered wonderous and unfathomable ways, in its own way its actually rather impressive. And yet here we are."
