Where There's a Will, There's Oil

Sometimes thinking about stuff to say is hard. But when all else fails I have a ton of funny memories that I can bequeath to you dear reader.  Take cars for example. I remember growing up how my sister was the one in the family who had the car. Being so close in age we did get to share it though. Now, I never knew much about cars. No one had taught me anything except how to check the oil. They never told me what to do once you check it. I just knew if it was low or not. This one time ,when I was in high school, I checked the oil and it was really low. So low in fact I think it didn't even have any oil in it at all.  So what do I do?  I get a regular funnel and oil, thinking to myself , "I need to put some oil in this puppy." However, when I put the funnel next to the dipstick hole the funnel hole was too big.  I figured we didn't have an "oil funnel" and proceeded to fashion one out of some construction paper I found in the garage. I then successfully poured the oil down the dipstick hole and into the oil pan. Logically I was thinking, "if I check it here, it must go here". Naturally when I checked the oil afterwards it said it was completely full. Ha, live and learn.
 
Thought of the day
Steve McCroskey: Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up 'till now.
Jacobs: Well, let's see: First the earth cooled. And, then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died, and they turned into oil. And, then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And, Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it, he took her best summer dress out of the closet, and put it on, and went to town.

Yes, I remember that well. I was thinking,"What the hell is he doing?" However, I wasn't surprised. I wonder how the car is today. Is the present owner always wondering why it reads full of oil?

Brian, Just read your web site. Very good. I have done some stupid things
in my life too. Just the other day I wanted some ice cream and drove to
Brums. (sp.) I pulled into the drive through window . When I got there I noticed
a 18-wheeler truck ahead of me. So I sat in the car sweating and waiting and
waiting and waiting. I thought he must be ordering many meals to go.
after about 15 minutes this car pulled in behind me or so I thought. HE PULLED
TO THE RIGHT OF me and gave me a funny look. Then I noticed he pulled to the
right side of the ordering machine while I and truck were sitting on left side
of machine. I looked closer at the truck and read the sign Brums Ice Cream!
They were unloading supplies!! Talk about stupid!! Love, mom
