How to anonymize your index finger
(Excuses for missing english vocabulary. Period)

It's so easy. You just need a motorbike, need for an oil change and some strength of will.

1. Drive the motorbike for 20 miles. Park it in your best friend's yard.

2. Place an oil change container under it. (It's a flat plastic container with a 8x8 in. hollow which has a hole at the bottom).

3. Unscrew the oil-drain plug from the oil sump. Hot oil pours out in a thick stream.

4. Drop the plug right into the hollow of the container. The plug fits into the hole of the container like youknowwhat, keeping the oil from running into the container. However, the motorbike still pisses its hot oil into the hollow.

5. Do what a hero would do: Avoid the spilling of 3 liters of hot oil by sticking your index finger up in the hole in the oil sump. Ignore the pain.

6. With your free hand, try to free the hole in the mold. Might take a minute if the screw fits really good.

7. If you got the screw out, the time for cursing and cooling your burnt finger has come. Wait a few days until the skin comes off.

Any motorbike holiday will become a very special amusement, not to mention the joy of putting on your gloves. Yummy!
My left index finger has only traces of a fingerprint since then.

Length? About 30 seconds for getting that plug out of the hole. Felt longer, somehow.

I feel your pain
I did my first oil change on my old beemer last week, and like all middle aged safety concious bikers, I wore latex gloves. Unfortunately the drain plug was horizontal, so the hot oil shot out sideways.

I deflected it into the drainer with my hand. Latex melts, and then it hardens. I've still got fingerprints, but they're somewhat obscured.

Also, I have to visit an engineer on Monday to undo the damage I did trying to get the oil filter out.
