Joe grinned and thought it was a nice touch from the universe. From then on, whenever someone asked him why he never worried about parking tickets, he’d wink and say, ‘Because my truck knows how to sing!’

4. At Forest Hills Auto, where mechanics are as legendary as their repairs, a delivery driver once asked with genuine curiosity: ‘Why does that old guy always sit in the same spot outside?’ Mechanic Joe, without looking up from his wrench, grunted, ‘He’s waiting for his car.’ The delivery driver raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Then why doesn’t he go inside?’ Joe grinned, shaking his head. ‘Because,’ he said, ‘he’s not here for his car—he’s here for the coffee!’
