A BBQ Story

[Beezer]

So I commissioned my elderly 86 year old Father to assemble a BBQ I bought.

He spent days meticulously putting it together. Finally he was done and it looked great! So I bring it home...buy a propane tank from the store shelf...go to hit the ignition switch and nothing happens. So I phone Pop and ask him if something went wrong. Dad can't for the life of him figure out why it won't start.

Anyhoo...after two hours of tinkering I finally realized I bought an EMPTY propane tank! lol! So I phoned dad back and apologized...he couldn't stop laughing. I connected the new tank and it fired up right away.

Oh, dear...

I bought the tank off of the store shelf. I gather for safety reasons they aren't allowed to be filled with propane in the store. But I was thinking the same thing.
