Hey Moron!!!!
I decided to go get an oil change this morning. Those of you who know me will not be surprised to hear that I am not overly religious when it comes to car maintenance, but oil changes are one thing I try to keep up with. I don't adhere to the the 3,000 mile guidelines, because that would require getting it changed once a month, but I usually don't let it get beyond 5k or 6k miles.
Anyway, I went around a curve this morning and my oil pressure warning light flashed. I quickly checked the sticker and discovered that I had gone 11,000 miles since the last change. oops!. So I stopped off at Prompto for a quick oil change. (I never change my own oil anymore)
I was sitting in the waiting room and my heart sank when I heard the technician go -"Hey, there's nothing coming out" I then had to sit through a lecture from the Service Manager about how bad it was to let your car run out of oil, and since only a moron would do such a thing, he "helpfully" proceded to lecture me on the corrosion of my battery terminals and the condition of my tires as well. And there was nothing I could say to defend myself. I just sat there and nodded my head and listened to the lecture.

You should have just said that it was your sister's car. Then you would have been a hero.
hehe....
I briefly flirted with the idea of saying it was my wife's car. Would that be wrong?
Only if she finds out.
yes that would be wrong! At some point you should stop blaming the women in your life for your mishaps. although, really what's the point in stopping now?
you're right, rob. I SHOULD have blamed it on a sister.
I was wrong again. I should not blame it on A sister, I should blame it on TWO of my sisters. Unless the rest of them want to chime in with some smart-aleck comments.
Really? I haven't heard about anything recent. Most of the recent incidents have involved my brothers.
Correction about Colleen's comment: I didn't pay the speeding ticket. According to mom, I've got all the luck in the family when it comes to such things.
lectures from the oil changing man are as bad as lectures from the dentist. thats why ive never had my oil changed by someone else. i dont want the lecture about how my oil looks a little too black and i should have come in thousands of miles ago.
