Fuel might be getting to the rails but at what pressure.

If the water main down the road gives out, I can still get water out of the shower head but it’s not a great shower.

Have you got spark?
Have you tested for spark?

A Commie is a Soviet Russian. (Eg)
A Commodore is a fine and upstanding motor vehicle.

Calling Commodores “Commies” is like stepping in dog poo.

Seems to be unique among those that never lived with the Soviet threat to the world.
