Yes the carwash story is true

Ya know sometimes I forget what a weirdness magnet I am. J gave me the title. Ain't that great. Lifts one eyebrow, Yeah dude I can do the one eyebrow thing now.

There are always interesting stories and anecdotes from our history when we were young and stupid and thought life was going to end for us if we didn't have everything we wanted by the age of twenty five.

But for those who did wonder was the car wash story real, yep, J can't make that shit up. Happened on a really screwed up day in February. I was working for an autoparts store, in Littleton. It had snowed and I drove a white Geo metro, and of coarse my boss is going to demand that the damn car is presteen and white, in snow...idiot. Any way I go make a couple of runs. Steve the boss wants me to get the car washed it's like three thirty four o'clock so I do a run, turn into the Amoco and proceed to go into the car wash. Since the snow storm the shit hasn't been working right but no warning signs nothing. I drive forward the big brushes close around the car but don't spin. I am trapped. Try to back up, oops there goes the side view mirror drivers side. I have currently been stuck in the carwash now for a half hour. I can't open the doors because of the brushes. I decide to climb out the hatchback and see if I can get out. I am sucessful at getting out the car but can't get out of the car wash. Now I'm stuck and all wet, because of coarse the waters going full blast. Find something to write on and walk to the door and look out there are a line of cars waiting, Hold up sign at window of door, Stuck in Carwash, get help. A woman in the front sends her kid to the door who reads the sign, then cruises back and has a lengthy discussion over politics or something before finally the brushes finally stop, in the meantime I'm now completely drenched and currently back in the vehicle, finally able to pull forward and leave the carwash. I need to let my boss know hey been stuck here now for about an hour. I walk in and this cute chick named Lisa who knew me said hey Joel how are you. Having a really bad day is my answer. She then says, you think you have problems some guys just got stuck in the carwash... Um yeah that was me...

Yes the story was true...weirdness magnet. J told you.
