" CHANGE MY OIL "

The continuing saga of "Darth."

The " Iceman " got a coupon in the mail. " SPECIAL !!! "
OIL CHANGE - $ 29.95.

Sooooooooo. I deviated from my hectic schedule, dropped everything, jumped in the Macho Mobile and raced over to my favorite Dodge dealership. I didn’t want to miss that five buck savings. It was like getting to the restaurant for the "Early Bird Special". The mailer said open at 7:30 so I figured I’d avoid the other "Birds" and show up at 7:20.

Arrived. First in line. Customer service desk. Nobody at the counter. Noticed a human in a side office eyeballing me. Musta thought I was a burglar. After a few minutes of observation the "Service Specialist " meandered out to the counter.

Conversation:

Service Specialist : What do you want?
Iceman: Oil Change ... got a coupon in the mail.

Iceman: Look at the coupon ........... 7:30.

Iceman: I’ll wait for it. $29.95 ... not a bad deal.
Service Specialist: That’s a HEMI isn’t it?
Iceman: Yeah.
Service Specialist: Coupon isn’t for HEMIs.
Iceman: Butttt, the coupon says. Well. I’m here now. Might as well change the oil. How much?
Service Specialist: Computer says ya got almost 15,000 mi. Ya gotta do maintenance.
Iceman: OK. How much?
Service Specialist: Let’s see ...... round about 300 bucks will cover it..... and it says here, if you don’t do it, you lose your warranty, so, what’s it gonna be?
