RONALD777 Champion Author Houston Posts:3,567 Points:391,430 Joined:Nov 2007	Message Posted: Nov 22, 2012 1:36:36 PM Ignore RONALD777 Report Abuse Have you ever worked at a gas station? I did back in 1967 for a while until they found out I was only 15 and they fired me. I learned a lot while I was there. I really liked the pretty girls when they drove up. It was fun to fill up their tank and clean their windshield - (full service back then).
