Signs that make ya go.... Huh?

Standing there, putting overpriced fuel into my truck, I look up and see this sign affixed to the pump I'm using: "Like Fine Wine... only it tastes nasty." Next to a picture of a gas-pump nozzle.

In what possible way is gasoline like fine wine? Oh, I know what they're trying to say... you're putting the absolute best into your vehicle when you use our fuel, etc. etc. But since all of our fuel is refined in pretty much the same way, unless they're putting unnecessary additives into it, isn't it all the same, more or less?

Another sign, advertising fuel for the same station, but this one on a billboard: "Top-Ten Rated... even cleans behind your engine's ears." Now that one's just stupid.

Stuck to the tailgate of a beat-up truck full of what appeared to be individuals born south of America's borders: "Free Hail Inspections."

Damn. And to think, all this time, I could have been getting my hail inspected for free!

lol, free hail inspections? As if you woulndn't notice the multitude of dents peppering the hood of your car without some specialist saying, "Si, this car has been damaged by hail. No, no put your money away, I offer this service for free." :D
