Get Me to a Quick Lube!!!!

Here I am, perched upon the bench in front of the Quick Lube. See, the Quick Lube flags are flying. Interestingly, those flags are designed to be read from one direction only, the direction facing Manchaca. But a smart boy like me can read in reverse. So I know those flags spell, Quick Lube.

Quick Lube is quick, but still, Quick Lube provides comfortable seating for paying customers awaiting quick lubes or other services. A paying customer like me may not want to stand up while being serviced, especially while awaiting completion of the Oddessga amdda inspection sticker. So there is the option to sit. This electropictoid captures the outdoor seating, except of course, the bench I am on. The bench I am on is outside the view, west, of this electropictoid.

Inside, there is another seating area. On the door is a sign spelled Waiting Room. Inside the Waiting Room, there is free coffee, free water, today’s paper, and some magazines. Right next to the Waiting Room is a comfort station. Today, I had both the inside and outside seating areas to myself. Though I drank up a cup of free coffee, I did not go to the comfort station. I did not need to go. That is how quick the service was.

Actually, Get Me to a Quick Lube, used to be the official slogan of Quick Lube. But not anymore. I don’t know what the new slogan is, but it is not, Get Me to a Quick Lube.

I really love that old slogan. Back when that slogan first hit the airwaves, I thought to myself, that slogan has all sorts of potential applications. In fact, every time I was fixing to take a metaphorical uttba uckingfa, I used to always implore myself, Get Me to a Quick Lube.

Sometimes, in those bygone situations, I would sing the little tune that goes along with the slogan, out loud. So Mr. Mammon, you want me to rewrite a few sections of the report, deleting any factual references. Tra-la. Get Me to a Quick Lube.
