It really can happen but probably just to me so relax.

One fine January day, I filled up my car with gas.

Okay.  It was today.

I went inside to get some gum and ran into several people I hadn't seen in a long time.

I chatted happily with them.

The whole gas station was packed with cars and since I live in a small town, I knew almost all of the people with them.

I was running late for another appointment.

I said my good byes and jumped in my car and started to speed away . . . . . 

ONLY TO REALIZE I HAD RIPPED THE HOSE FROM THE PUMP AND WAS DRAGGING IT, STILL ATTACHED TO MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I got out of my car and removed the hose from my gas tank, I humbly smiled at the crowd that had gathered to witness my stupidity.

I handed the hose to the attendant; who was now too in the lot staring at me.

Wow.

There is a first time for everything.

And I hope a last too.

Please remember to remove the hose from your car before you drive away.
