Pulled into filling station on opposite side of pump from 6.0 Ford. Notice the diesel hose/nozzle is "missing".

Mr. 6.0 "I didn't notice that my side of the pump had diesel so I reached around and took the hose from your side".

Mr. CTD " No problem, I'll just fill it with the racing gas."

Mr. 6.0 " . . . . . . oh"

Mr. CTD " It's a joke . . . I'll just reach around and use your side."

Mr. 6.0 " . . . oh . . . oh, OK"

Note to self: Need work on one-liners.

I go to his side of the pump, insert my credit card, take his diesel hose/nozzle, return to my side and begin pumping. All quiet for a few minutes. Mrs. 6.0 returns from the cashier, shaking her head.

Mrs. 6.0 to Mr. 6.0 "I tried to pay but the man said not to worry, it was going on a credit card. "

Mr. 6.0 "oh . . . OK"

Mr. CTD "WRONG! That's my card he talking about."

Mr. 6.0 "oh . . .OK"

I escort Mrs. 6.0 back inside to straighten out the clerk (whole other story!). I return and silently watch as the digits role up on my meter (his side). Notice that Mr. 6.0 is looking at my pump (his side) with a puzzled look on his face.

Mr. 6.0 to Mrs. 6.0 "I quit pumping but the numbers keep going up."

Mrs. 6.0 " That is his pump."

Mr. 6.0 "If that is his pump, what did I just put in my truck?"

Mr. CTD "I'm out of here!"


The Boss Hog
(There must be a leason there someplace . . . . )

 

"clueless" comes to mind.

 

That says a lot!!!!

 

mindless brand loyalty, turned to just mindless...

 

So - Were Mr. & Mrs 6.0 BLONDE by any chance????

 

Hey Boss Hog that was supposed to be OUR secret...

(just another clueless brand loyal owner I guess)

 

After you hopped in your truck, you should have put down the window and said "You do know that's kerosene, don't you?" then bolted.

 

Down here in South Carolina, ya really gotta watch the kerosene diesel mix up. Many stations have kero on one side and diesel on the otherside of the same pump.

I've never made the mistake yet, but it could easily happen.

 

What's the big deal? I think our trucks can run through a tankful of Kero/#1 no problem right? It just won't get very great mileage.

 

Thats what everyone says. But I don't want to be the guinnea pig.

 

Boss, did you have your truck parked at the boat ramps on manatee pocket last weekend, I think I saw your truck last weekend when taking the back way to Jensen beach? Think it was parked on the road near the entrance to the park?
