The Car Wash
Jimmy drives up to a drive way where a Carwash sign is staked down in the front lawn.  Bill is sitting in his lawn chair with a bucket, car wash supplies, and a hose next to him.
-Hey there, buddy
-Hey, how's it going?  You come for the car?
-Yeah, umm, I'm kinda on my lunch break, how long do you think it's gonna take?
-Well, the average time is around 45 minutes
-That cuts it kind of close, ehh, ok.  Is the upholtry included in the cleaning?
-Sure man, that sounds cool, it sure could use it.
-Hey it's not that bad...ok, it could use some work.
-Soo, a car wash, with upholstry, hey man, can you give me a figure, how much is this gonna cost?
-Umm, I don't know, maybe 10 dollars
-That's not bad
-Ok, cool
-What about cleaning the tires and the wheels?
-Sure man, that sounds good
-Still 10 dollars?
-Yeah, I got no problem with it, if you don't
-Nah, no problem.  Cool.
-If we're gonna do all that, what about vacuuming?
-You think there's enough time?
-Yeah, we'll be fine.  Umm, still 10 dollars?
-Yeah
-Hey, what about the windows?
-Wow, everything's getting done, (Looks at his watch) so when ya gonna start?
-(still sitting down) Huh?
-When ya gonna start cleaning up the ole Buick? (Pats his car)
-Naw dude, Your'e supposed to wash my car.
-Wha..
-Yeah, that's why I put the sign in my yard, so someone would come by and wash my car.  Chaa.  What, you thought I was sitting here to wash other people's cars.  What kind of absurd idea is that?
-Man, what was I thinking?
A bewildered Jim gets in his car and drives away.  Five minutes later, another guy drives up in his dusty, pollen covered Honda Civic.
