Excuse me, miss...

Funny thing happened to me at the gas station today. I was filling the tank when I heard an "Excuse me, miss" behind me. Expecting a plea for a hand-out, I turned around cautiously. Sure enough, there was a shabbily dressed man. Pointing to the S on the side, he asked, "Does the S stand for sixty miles per gallon?" He went on, "I sure like these things!" I saw then he drove an equally battered pickup parked nearby.

Guess everyone loves a MINI...

A hand-out? DO you live in the Texas Panhandle?

I thought the "S" stood for Sexy, but that would be the wrong thing to have told him...
