Hi Friends:

I went to gas up today, and a sign saying "sorry no unleaded today" was taped to each set of premium, middle, and low grade pumps--specifically on the low-grade pump. I asked the attendant if the station really was out of all unleaded. I was told "no, just unleaded unleaded." The attendant went on to tell me that they have plenty of premium grade and middle grade. I said, but those grades are unleaded too. She said "no only the unleaded unleaded is unleaded." I said, "Oh, OK thanks," added my premium, and went off wondering how the station's gas sales are going today. They don't even carry diesel.

Idiots. Leaded fuel has probably been unavailable since before she was born...

She had lead and didn't know it: between her ears.

Maybe you should be concerned about using that "leaded"premium.It may adversly affect your performance numbers.

Yes, it's really nice, but it's main benefit is that it is the closest to me.

I am positive that you are right. It was very funny, but I am sure that I have said things just as strange.

Maybe she was jet lagging rather than me--or just having a really strange day.
