A True Tail
I took my car in for an oil change and checkup on Saturday. After the service guy got all the information he needed, I also remembered that there was a noise under the hood that I wanted them to check out.
Me: Oh, I also wondered if you could take a look at my car - there’s a squeak when I start it up. It sounds like a mouse orgy.
The service guy laughed. We traded mouse metaphors.
Later, he told me that the serpentine belt was making the noise, so they replaced it. When I looked at my bill later, I saw they didn’t charge me for it.
Moral of the story: Mouse sex jokes save you money. Use them the next time you need car repairs.

Q: How many mice does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Two. Can’t fit any more in there.

One time, I tried to flirt with the Valvoline guy, too. Needless to say, it didn’t work out quite so well as your episode. In fact, I think he surcharged me…

You got lucky… sometimes they’ll charge a bunch for the labor, because on some models their hard to get too…
Wow, that just sounded like I knew what I was talking about!

Maybe the sepentine belt burst from eating all the mice?

I wonder what gerbil sex jokes would get me…a free carwash maybe? Perhaps a shot of 12 year old scotch? It kinda makes you wonder:)
