At Pep Boys garage, an irate customer exclaimed, ‘I just saw your mechanic walking out of my house!’ The mechanic calmly replied, ‘Oh, that must be my wife—she’s a delivery driver.’ The customer shook his head and walked away muttering, ‘Next time I’ll know better than to leave my door unlocked!’
4. A delivery driver pulled up to Pep Boys late one night, frowning as he inspected his truck's tire pressure gauge.
