Think with your dipstick

[cjd-player]

Being the cheap guy that I am, I change my own oil in my cars rather than paying someone to do it.

So this evening I'm out with my eleven-year-old son, and we stop at the auto parts store to buy a case of oil.

My son is casually tagging along, but then suprisingly objects to my choice of oil brand.

I tell him it really doesn't make much difference ...

then he pops off in a loud voice: "Think with your dipstick, Jimmy" (from the Castrol Oil TV commercials).



Fortunately, my name is not Jimmy, or I'd have thought he was talking to me. :shock:



Ah, the power of TV comercials on the young mind. :roll:

I think at a certain age they watch the commercials more than the programs.

When my ex-wife's boy was 5 we lived in a small rural town of about 2000 population. One Saturday morning we were eating breakfast in the village cafe. Phillip spilled his orange juice, and I grabbed the edge of the tablecloth to keep it from running all over. A waitress called over "I'll get a towel". Phillip shouted back "Maybe we should use a maxi-pad". :shock:
