Oil Change Instructions for MEN:

It is Saturday morning ...

1) Listen to wife tell you why you must change her car's oil, today .. just nod & smile.. dont say anything stupid, NOTHING!.

2) Tell her while you work on her car, she can go and get her nails done and she can take your car - ouch - I know. I know, but no choice. Do NOT SAY ANYTHING STUPID like "dont wreck my car" do NOT NOT NOT say that!

3) She leaves, you race to Jiffy Lube, offer the guy extra $5 to get it done FAST, tell him NO LABELS, NO TAGS.
do NOT write a check, CASH ONLY - leave with a properly maintained vehicle.

4) Drink a cup of coffee, toss the evidence (cup).

Money spent:
* Oil Change $25
* Tip $5
* Coffee $2
Total: $32.00

5) Race back home, now work FAST - shred the receipts, open the hood, vacuum carpets, smear a bit of oil on face, a bit of mud wont hurt, oil a shop towel then toss it on the floor in front of car, smear jeans and hands, drop a bit of oil on the floor, mess your hair up some.

6) A few minutes later, wife arrives and you are sitting on the lawn chair looking near death. Wife starts asking when are you planning to .... ... you cut her off "Honey, oil change done, lubed joints, and vacuumed the carpets - God am I tired! I wanted to make sure it was all done by the time you got home."
THAT IS IT, dont say anything else, nothing STUPID, NOTHING !

7) Wife stands there, mouth open .. in shock, walks around to front of car, she pulls out dipstick .. sees fresh new oil .. even more shocking, she looks inside, carpets are clean .. her eyes are now swelling with tears.

8) Wife walks up to you with that special smile that means "in the mood", takes your hand and says " honey, lets go inside, I will give you a bath & ... (use your imagination) ."

The REWARD?
............ p r i c e l e s s ! ...............




THAT my friends, is how you treat a lady ...
Even if she finds later out that you paid to do the job, she will still love it that you got it done, the how wont matter.
But dont be a fool and confess - unless she asks " where did you take it?"

Best way I know. Planning is important!
1. Night before place golf clubs, pool cue, field glasses and tickets in trunk of car. Don't get caught.
2. Tell boss, wife, or anyone else who may stop you: I have to go to the dealer to get oil changed, and you are going to wait to be sure it's done right.
3. Next morning drive to dealer and unload hidden cargo at write up.
4.Catch courtsey shuttle to desired escape.Arrange for pick up at end of day. Do not forget what time that is!
5.Enjoy the day!
6.Catch shuttle back to dealer
7. Hope its done
8. Pay 40.00 for oil change, Tell necessary parties "I WAS STUCK AT THE DEALER ALL DAY", they will believe you. A day of your own priceless
disclaimer: not the day to have Hole In One, Catch home run ball,Hit the trifecta or anything else that will put you in news
