Car wash

I filled up my car with gas after leaving work this morning. I was happy to see that gas was $1.95 a gallon. While inside the gas station, the attendant asked if I wanted to get my car washed today. I said no thank you and walked back out to my car. The skies were very dark and cloudy and there is a chance for more rain during the day. I wonder if she wouldn't have asked me if her boss wasn't standing near her? But I wouldn't have gotten a car wash anyway, tonight the forecast is calling for rain showers then it is turning into a nice snow and rain mixture.

Leaving the gas station it made me remember a time last fall I had my oil changed at a car dealership. When you get an oil change at this dealership, you have the choice of getting a free car wash. I pulled into the garage and gave the guy my keys. He asked if I wanted a free car wash. I said yes. He chuckled at me and told me my car would be done in a half hour. The reason he chuckled at me is because it was raining. Not just sprinkles. It was an all day downpour. He probably thought that was stupid. Who gets their car washed when it is raining out? My reason to get the car wash was because it was free.
