Mike was a wild young man and experienced several car wrecks during his lifetime. One weekend night, he borrowed his dad's car and went out for the evening. Coming home, he ran out of gas. He walked on home and went to bed. The next morning his dad wanted to know where the car was. Mike explained that he had run out of gas and it was a mile or so from the house. Oliver got his gas can and told Mike to "come on." They went to the
car and Oliver poured gas in the tank and the gas went thru the opening and poured on Oliver's feet. Oliver got down and looked under the car and asked, "Son, have you been driving fast and hitting bottom?" to which Mike answered, "no, Daddy." Oliver then asked, "Then where is the gas tank?" They found it about a half mile back where Mike had driven over an old bridge and bumped the car hard enough to knock the tank off. Oliver took it in stride and it became a memory of laughter between them.
