So today was a gorgeous sunny warm dry day, and my car was pretty dirty from the snow/ice/salt of the past few days. I pull up to the car wash console and ask for the deluxe.
It's $6, so I start out by attemping to insert a $5 bill. It doesn't take it. I try over and over but it refuses my fiver. Finally it takes it, but then it spits it out, much to my chagrin. The bill falls, and I try my best to grab it amid the wind, but it lands in a wet spot. I knew I was screwed now. No machine in its right mind will take a wet five dollar bill.
I get some ones out of my wallet, and start sliding them in. When I got to the fourth one dollar bill, it wouldn't take it. NOOOOOOO!
I tell the machine that I'm scared for my life. It stares back, with its cold, deadly stare. The machine vs me. Neither of us will budge. I insist that its making me uncomfortable, and to step down before anyone gets hurt.
The machine snarls at me. It's mocking me. "I will have none of this" I exclaim!
Out comes my pistol. You know the rest. Oh, and I now have a clean car.
