Ed: I'd like three glazed donuts and two cream filled danish rolls please!
Woman behind counter: I'm sorry sir, but I can't sell those to you.
Ed: Why? Is it because I don't look like I should be eating pastry?
Woman behind counter: No sir, that is not the reason.
Ed: Okay then, is it because this is John Deere country and I like Farmall?
Woman behind counter: Oh, no sir, not at all!
Ed: Then tell me! Why won't you sell me the pastries I asked for?
Woman behind counter: Well sir, it's because this is an auto parts store!

On the right is Mr. T, owner of Mr. T's Auto Parts in Toppenish, WA. Now this is a REAL auto parts store. Mr. T is way beyond retirement age, but fortunately for us he continues to be open 363 days a year. Notice there is no computer anywhere in the store. It's just him and his wife. He rarely uses the catalogs on the counter, doesn't need to. He actually stocks Farmall Cub oil filters and Cub Cadet air filters, right on the shelf. He knows what his customers want and carries those items. Of course he sells Seafoam and the Seafoam penetrating oil. There is an Autozone across the street, but I only go in there when there is NO alternative. Too bad places like Mr. T's are not as common as they used to be, but if you look you will find one.
