The Gas Mitt

Filed under: general — bdparker @ 11:08 pm

Does this sound familiar to anybody else?
My gas needle will go from 1/4 back up to 1/2 tank repeatedly, then suddenly drop to empty. Straight from 1/4 tank to the Low Fuel light being on, and then going back off as the needle moves up?
I really want to put a gallon or two of gas in a can, throw it in Aicha’s bed and drive until it cuts off.
So I bought gas. Gas is too expensive. But I got a free “Gas Mitt” at the station. Have you seen these things. It’s a plastic mitt. It keeps your hand clean. It’s never really been something I was concerned about, but you know there’s going to be that one time, where I spill gas on my hand and then I meet The Donald and he extends his hand but I’ve got gas all over mine. Then he’ll be all, “You should have used a Gas Mitt. You’re fired.”

Oh yeah! Who wants to go to I NY Pizza after church Sunday?

  1. I think that’s supposed to mean that the fuel gauge is not calibrated properly to the size of the tank, but I tend to think I know a lot more than I actually know about stuff like that. I’m glad you enjoyed your gas mitt, its the simple things in life I guess.

  2. Brad, I think the main beneficial purpose of the so called “Gas mitt” is to not only protect your hand(s) from the occasional spillage of gasoline (potentialy ruining all hopes of future conglomerating chances with The Donald) but also to protect your hads from bacteria (ya know, germs) which could be residing on the gas handle! Think of all those nasty, germy hands that have touched that thing and how Mr. Gas Mitt is so ardently sheilding you from every single one. Wow…..what a concept!
