The young woman sat in her stalled car, waiting for help. Finally two men walked up to her. “I’m out of fuel,” she purred. “Could you push me to a service station?”
They readily put their muscles to the car and rolled it several blocks. After a while, one looked up, exhausted, to see that they had just passed a filling station. “How come you didn’t turn in?” he yelled.
“I never go there,“ the woman shouted back. “They don’t have full service.”
