First, let me say thanks to Da Old Man for this fine example of vegan art...This award is given by Da Old Man for winning his "caption" contest. You'll have to hop over to his place to see just what the caption and picture was. Also, I raked in 500 Ecard credits for finishing first and taking home the coveted Zucchini Award...thanks again to Crotchey Old Man Yells at Cars and his staff for this honor!-Don
He's a humorblogger too so you can get over there as well and check us all out for fun.

Sometime in the morning I've got to do something that I despise doing, and that is to go get an oil change/lube for my car. Like most people I just drive the damn car to somebody and let them do all of the dirty work. I guess it really is worth it. I can't see them making much money from it but that's another story...
The problem that I have with crap like that is the wait. I once waited four friggin' hours in a shop waiting area for an oil change and didn't say one word to anyone at anytime. When they got finished I went up to pay never mentioning the wait. The manager told me it's "no charge" and gave me a coupon for another free oil/lube the next time. All of that because I just sat there and kept my damn mouth shut for four hours.
I am known to be notoriously patient-almost to a fault. I don't like waiting any more than the next person, but I also realize that in this case there are others ahead of me. So, I park my ass in a chair and sit! If I'm lucky they'll be a hot mechanic babe to stare at and lust for. This has happened before. Mostly, this is where the real fun begins. Just wait...shhh, quiet. Look and listen. Ya here that? Someone's getting impatient. Someone is getting really mad. Wham!
It never fails to amaze me, and it's fucking hilarious to see somebody finally get up and bitch and raise hell to some poor bastard that may be just sweeping the floors or changing a light bulb. They just can't handle it anymore. They'll get up in some guy's face and rant and rave for 15 minutes non stop. When they're through their fucking car is still sitting on the lift, and all they succeeded in doing was getting worked up. What morons!
I can sit all day and watch people yelling and screaming at each other over nothing. Ever notice how damned ugly the faces get? I mean it's brutal! Then when they try to calm down. Oh man, it's like they are about to hyperventilate. It sure does provide for some cheap entertainment. Hell, maybe I can wait tomorrow. That's the best part afterall.-Don

I find most mechanic chicks have more facial hair than I do.
Gross!
Ditto Mike, and they usually weigh more than the car that's having work done,
which is why I purchase all materials/filters and do it myself and save a nickle or two that I spend on a cold beer while I'm* changing the oil.
... but why waste Don's fantasy?
*(watching my girlfriend change the oil)
Mike: Most do. I've only seen two or three, but one I saw was a babe. I think she was just there to flirt though.
Kevin John: How much does your girlfriend charge you to change the oil in your car, huh?
congrats on the zucchini! That was a tough one!
Ok, where do you go to find a hot babe to change the oil? A hot mechanic would be a step up from Frank or Howie, my usual oil change techs.
Kirsten: Thanks K. I appreciate that.
Da Old Man: Lol! I know where one used to work and I would go there for minor stuff, but I think she was just "window dressing" that worked well...The last guy that changed my oil was named Leon!
Try using that patience next time you take your room-mate somewhere. The hot babes are really lesbians used to keep you all calm while the mechanics are out back sifting the old oil to sell you.
The empathetic part of me feels bad for the person getting the tongue lashing, all the while laughing at the person doing the lashing.
ettarose: If I didn't show some emotional "outburst" with my roommate, she would consider it as though I wasn't interested in anything. Guys like a lot of lesbians-mechanics or not. Lol.
Chica: That's me. I really get a kick out of watching the way people act when they just lose it!
Congratulation's its a ??? Zucchini!
