Jim Wiley, Constable of Rumor, Texas is driving you to the lonely outskirts of his territory. In his headlights pick out a car parked on the road shoulder. He breaks to a stop. Handsome trouble? Unless he's caught down on it.

I'm trying to get it started for half hour. Maybe I can get it going for ya. I know a little something about cars. Okay about trying. He bet. Go ahead. Looks like it ain't about the snort, friend.

You must be out of gas. The gauge says she half full. The gauge must be busted then. Choking like I did and should have flooded the car, breed him. When we get to the house, we get the smell of it.

You better take the tank. You gotta stick to something to shove in here for measuring, will you? You bet. That's Brian's job to do. That's good, now I'll give you a hug. She empty? Dry as a WCTU meeting.

Well, I leave me kind of stuck. Well, I got a siphon holder from the trunk. We can drain enough out of my tank to get you back to Rome. Is that an all-night station, eh?
