Diesel Fried Chicken Yum!

Oh Gads, Van Horn, my favorite stop on I10 into (or out of) West Texas.
I'll have to find that place on the way through there next December in my 300TD.
Looking at the fuel prices makes it certain that picture is more than a few years old

Talking Diesel aftershave.

I bought new dress shoes.
Hate the stink of new shoes.
I took polish and an ounce of diesel, warmed the polish and mixed in the diesel, three coats of polish later, the new shoes smell good to me.
Now, when I go to meetings, people ask if it is a new cologne. LOL

I love Diesel

The trick still works.

I bought new dress shoes again.
Hate the stink of new shoes.
I took polish and an ounce of diesel, warmed the polish and mixed in the diesel, three coats of polish later, the new shoes smell good to me.
Now, when I go to meetings, people ask if it is a new cologne. LOL

You honestly think no perfume smells as good as diesel exhaust.
Your spousal unit begins to wonder why you're suddenly volunteering to run all the errands.
You record fuel consumption, mileage, oil changes, and other significant events in the life of your truck with such care and accuracy that the most picky NASA scientist would conclude you're overdoing it.
You hear the word "bible" and immediately think "owner's manual."
You find yourself looking at maps to see if there isn't some way to drive to Europe instead of flying.
Every Monday morning as you drive up the street, your neighbors are frantically running to the curb with their trash cans thinking that the garbage truck has arrived three hours early. You laugh with glee.
When driving through a tunnel or long underpass you slightly slow down just to hear the motor reverberate off the walls.
Your wife dabs diesel fuel behind her ears when she "wants your attention".
You pull up to places that have valet parking and purposely make sure your exhaust is placed so that you can fill the main entry with diesel fumes.
You put the exhaust right beside the snobs in the convertible on the interstate and floor it!
I love it when I pull into the drive thru for my morning coffe with out stopping because the girl knows the sound of this engine and already has it made by the time I round the corner with no wait!
Guilty as charged.

Diesel aftershave!

My wife was shocked when I pointed out the current diesel price $4.72 per gallon.
Her comment was; it would be cheaper to burn aftershave.
I was cracking up, and had to pull into a parking lot to recover.
She did forgive me when I showed her this thread.

She cracked a big grin and said; that is so sexey, is it new?
I cracked up; told the truth and showed her my 1985 300SD.
Now she wants a Mercedes Benz diesel!
What a way to end the day!
reminds me of laugh I had at school a few years ago - it was a couple of girls (we were about 16 at the time) talking:
girl 1: Ah that's such a lovely perfume anna, it smells amazing, what is it?
girl 2: Oh I just got it, it's diesel!
It really did happen too

they were of course talking about the italian designer label, which I hadn't heard of at the time. I roared with laughter, but was the ojnly one that got it... I knew what real diesel smelled like!

Talking Rofl

One of my nephews is using Diesel as an aftershave.
It has doubled the number of girl friends.
