1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Cobblestone Car Wash and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever notice how clean your customers’ cars get after they leave here?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, 'Well, that's our job, isn't it?'

After all, what harm could it do? Turns out, every time someone drove away from that spot, their car became cleaner than ever before. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone wanted their car washed there—even if they didn’t own a black vehicle.
