Gas Cap

#1 Unread post by poppygene »

I have a friend who filled his car with gas at a self-service gas station. After he had paid and driven away, he realized that he had left the gas cap on top of his car. He stopped and looked and, sure enough, it was lost.

Well, he thought for a second and realized that other people must have done the same thing, and that it was worth going back to look by the side of the road since, even if he couldn’t find his own gas cap, he might be able to find one that fit.

He hadn’t been searching long when, sure enough, he found a gas cap. He tried it on, and it went into place with a satisfying click.

"Great," he thought, "I lost my gas cap, but I found another one that fits. And this one’s even better because it locks."

Let me get this straight... it's one down and four up, right?

With the re-emergence of naked bikes, one day soon, real men will be able to bring their motors out of the false shadows of molded plastic and show their motors to the world without fear of ridicule or shame.

Good one, poppy. It reminded me of where I work. We need to fill up our buses and sometimes some of the drivers forget to put the gas caps back on. Not all the buses use the same caps and every once in a while, the gas station guy will put the wrong gas cap on. Of course the next time you try to get it off , it won't come off and then you need to get the mechanic to come out and pry it off.
