OK, now most of you have seen this pic. I saw it ages ago. I'm not posting it here because I think it's the latest and funniest thing I've seen. Bear with me.
I just got a call from Mrs. Platypus. It started out with, "Are you in a good mood?" Ya see where this going, don't ya?
Seems she went to the full service bay at the gas station. Usually she does self-serve, but she wanted her oil checked. So the guy takes her credit card, starts pumping gas and checking fluids. A couple minutes later he hands back her card and then walks over to the car in the lane next to her. She thinks he's done and so starts to drive off...
He wasn't.
She got only a few feet before she heard a loud noise. Got out, saw what she'd done, and yelled loudly, "Shit!!!" She's an Aussie - never been one to mince words. She says there's no damage to the car, and no serious fuel spill. Seems these pumps are now made with self-sealing break-away hoses. They cost $40 to fix, though.
I nearly pissed myself laughing while she told me this. God I love her. I'm emailing this picture to her now.
