1. At Riethmeyer’s Auto Repair Inc., every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘And remember, gentlemen—if your engine is talking to you, it’s probably trying to tell you something.’ Soon after, mechanics start reporting that their tools mysteriously vanish and reappear in strange places around the shop. One day, a delivery driver complained that his package kept disappearing mid-route. The next morning, he found it under the hood of his truck, accompanied by a note reading, 'Checked for loose bolts.' Mechanics at Riethmeyer’s often joke that if they ever retire early, it’ll be because their tools finally decided to unionize.

At Riethmeyer’s Auto Repair Inc., every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your friendly neighborhood alien has landed in Bay 3.’ One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s the alien?’ The gruff mechanic replied, ‘Don’t you see him? He’s always under the hood, tinkering away.’ A few minutes later, an old neighbor walked in, scratching his head and muttering, ‘I thought I heard someone speaking Klingon…’
