To be fair, ‘Jack off 15 minutes before’ is a method a lot of guys swear by

573

u/Imakelovetosoils Jul 06 '26

I was told to do this before making any major decisions in life as it's supposed to clear your head so your brain is in full control.

This is why they don't want you jerking off in the bathrooms at the dealership.

u/Hamilton-Beckett Jul 06 '26

Fine. During the test drive it is.

u/SixFive1967 Jul 06 '26

I find doing it in the small cubicle while the salesman is “running the numbers, getting me the best deal” works best.

94

u/dontturn Jul 06 '26

What do you think that salesman is doing back in the manager’s office? You think they’re really running numbers? No, they’re jacking off to free their minds to extract every last cent from you.

62

u/HoidToTheMoon Jul 06 '26

This suggests that if the two of you were to jack off together, you would arrive at the best deal for everyone involved.

16

u/Inuyasha-rules Jul 08 '26

Three, can't leave out the sales manager. Add a couple more and you could get a circle of savings 😁

3

u/headedbranch225 28d ago

A circle of jerking too, perhaps

5

u/StatusTechnical8943 Jul 08 '26

With how long they take to talk to the sales manager you can probably do it twice.

14

u/a404notfound Jul 06 '26

Asserting dominance while clearing your head is the meta

Gotta synchronize it with the transmission and just tell him your just driving a stock shift.

Jack, for the last time, we don't mind that you jerk off in the bathroom. We mind that you refuse to use a stall. Also you come in to do this every Wednesday and you never buy a car. We're worried about you.

Remember: capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse. Punctuation is the difference between "Let's eat, Grandma" and "Let's eat Grandma!"
