The Amazing Adventures of Gas Cap Man

This past Sunday I had the opportunity to help out a citizen in need.

Apparently after this woman (let's call her Mary Jane to protect the guilty) filled up at the gas station, MJ 'forgot' to put MJ's gas cap back on and close the gas door. As MJ drove off, MJ heard a 'clank, clank' and sees something fly off the roof of MJ's car. "Waaaaaaaaaaah!!! I think that was my gas cap!!" Fortunately the gas cap landed in the street right by the median and in a yellow painted area (where you're not supposed to drive). So I said, "It's ok, it landed on the side of the road, we can just walk on the median and get it." To which MJ replied, "We???"

Grrreat. Superheroes are always expected to do their jobs alone.

 
Who is that dashing young man walking on the median? If you click for the bigger version, you can see a Mobil in the background. That was the scene of the crime. Posted by Picasa

 
Risking life and limb for a gas cap. But hey, that's what superheroes do, right? Posted by Picasa

If you look at the guy in the SUV, he's probably thinking, "What the heck?" Either that or "I can see your underwear, man!" I know. That's part of my outfit. Posted by Picasa

hey i wasn't there or anything, but maybe Mary Jane was distracted at the gas station b/c the trunk was open so she could get her wallet, so she couldn't put the gas cap on its customary place on the trunk and instead had to put it on the roof of the car, so maybe she subsequently forgot to put it back on?

no, i don't think that was it.

another thought -- maybe by "we??" she meant "you stay in hte car! i'll go get it myself"?

calculon said...

no, i don't think that's what she meant. otherwise why am i in all the pictures? and why aren't there any of her?

minjuice said...

cuz when you got out of the car, maybe she figured she'd just let you go get it?

you're not supposed to tuck your shirt into your underwear! that's just weird.

everything else about this post is surprisingly normal. why, you ask? because i know you are a superhero and you fight decepticons...

in your case, the superhero dons his underwear neither inside nor out...
