        Exchange of Words...

        Sort of a silly story, but I thought it was funny at the time...

        I was down on the peninsula for a meeting. After the meeting, I stopped for lunch at a local favorite of mine before I drove home, and remembered that I wanted to add some oil to the car. Look in the trunk. No oil.

        So I drive over to Allison BMW and walk up to the parts counter:

        Me: "Hi, I need to buy a quart of oil for my car"

        Counter Guy: "Sure, what brand"

        Me: "BMW Synthetic"

        Counter Guy: "No, what brand of car?"

        Me: "Uh... BMW"

        Countery Guy: "Which model BMW?"

        Me: "it's an M5"

        Counter Guy: "O.K...530"

        Me: "No, it's an M5"

        Counter Guy: "Huh?"

        Me: "The car...it's an M5, not a 530"

        Counter Guy: "Yeah, so 1060?"

        Me: "NO, it's an...Oh, you mean the oil weight...yes 530"

        We both started laughing...



        Maybe you had to be there...

        I love it when little misunderstandings make you crack up.
