Many years go I worked at a gas station. A regular customer was a really old lady. When she stopped, it was, “$2.00 regular, check the oil, check the radiator, check the battery, check the tires...and don’t forget my green stamps.”

We called it an island overhaul.

Back when gas was 30 cents a gallon and love was just 60 cents away. Ah, the good times.
