We are not on the Showcase Showdown.

So Steve and I were at the gas station the other day and we had a friendly wager that it would not go over $50. As the numbers clicked wildly over 48 buckeroos, Steve started to yell "STOP STOP STOP." Thinking he was with Bob Barker spinning the wheel as it approached the $1 sign when he already had 55 cents, he didn't realize an older lady to his immediate right was backing up and reeled in horror as she thought she was running someone over.

Of course we apologized profusely, but I don't think it did much good.

Moral of the Story: Don't scream STOP STOP STOP when someone is backing up, you may be held accountable for a clean-up on Pump #4.
