"Do you sell blinker fluid?"

Chronicles from Wal Mart's Automotive Department

The phone rang. As it always does when I am on top of a ladder or some other inconvient time. The gentleman i.e. moron asks "Do you sell blinker fluid?" Taken back, I glance at my watch, 3:30 pm a little early for a prank call. So I reply hoping he will bust out in laughter exposing himself "Blinker fluid sir? Why yes it is the fluid that makes your blinkers glow!"  By now my co-workers are laughing, reading my expression. Then miraculously I believe I remember what this idiot is talking about. I ask: "Sir do you own a mini-van?" He replies "A Ford Aerostar, how did you know?" A feeling of relief comes over me for I hope I am almost done with this one, "Sir are you refering to the reservoir that sits on top of your rear 'blinker', the cap says for fluid only?" The man replies, "Yes that is it! that is for my blinker fluid, do you have any? Trying not to scream, cry, or pass out laughing, I reply. "Sir that is the reservoir for the rear-windsheid washer fluid, not blinker fluid." "Oh he replies, then why won't my blinker blink?"  I would try the bulb sir," I replied.  It was over. He thanked me and said he would be in.  Somehow I seem to believe that he is not convinced and is still calling auto parts stores.  May you not run into any ford aerostars with burnt-out blinkers!

Special thanks to TREy for sending that in :)
