Fuel Service
Published Jan 01, 1900
Driving into a new gas station, I eased up to a pump. It was diesel fuel. I circled and approached another set of pumps. Self-service, and I wanted full service. I circled to the remaining set of pumps, pulling up on the wrong side. One more time around, and I came from the right direction. The attendant walked up to my car. "Lady," he said grinning, "I thought I was gonna have to get out my rope and lasso you in!"
