A vacationing family had loaded
the youngster’s pet squirrel, revolv

baggage compartment of their rear
engined foreign car.
They stopped at a remote gas sta
tion in the mountains and the driv
er told the attendant, '‘Fill -er up
and check the oil while we walk
a bit to stretch our legs.” 1
When they returned to the car, j
the driver reached for his wallet -
and asked. “How much do I
owe you?”
“Can't rightly say." drawled the
native. “I gave your engine two
bags of peanuts for fuel, but I’ll
be danged if I know how to check
its oil.”
