The proud owner of a magnificent 1956 Chevy convertible wrote to say that he had restored the car to perfection, and sent this....
On a warm Summer day he decided to take his car to town. It was almost out of gas, but he wanted to get some ice cream, so he headed for the ice cream shop first. The ice cream shop was fairly busy, so he had to park his car on a side street. He noticed a group of young guys hanging out, smoking cigarettes, and looking at his car closely. He felt a bit uneasy leaving it there, but people often admired his car, so he proceeded to get his ice cream. The ice cream shop was quite busy, and it took a long time to get back to his car, and when he did, it was gone.
He called the police, reported his car stolen, and went back to the ice cream shop. About 15 minutes later, his phone rang and the police reported they had found his car abandoned a few miles away, at a gas station. A lady working at the gas station said that 3 young guys came in with the car, prepaid $20 for gas, walked around the car for a few minutes, then walked away...leaving the car behind.
The question is...Why would anyone drive in with such a nice car, prepay for gas, then simply walk away, leaving their money and the car?
ANSWER....They couldn't figure out where to find the gas cap.
Does anyone remember where the gas cap on a 56 Chevy was located...I had to think a moment, then remembered where.
