Car Wash

This is totally a random post that just came to mind and put a smile on my face.

A few years ago, Dan and I went through a car wash which claimed to be "touchless". We paid our fee and pulled the car through the bay. The water began to spritz on our car and then large, rubbery arms flopped all over the car like a mutant octopus. The sudsy stems whacked our car gently as we waited for the car wash to finish.

Inside the car, Dan and I looked at each other with confusion. Dan broke the silence: "I thought this was supposed to be touchless. There is definite touching." We couldn't help but laugh; this couldn't possibly be "touchless".

To this day if we're irritated by any form of touching (like a cart brushing up against us in a grocery store) we'll look at each other and say, "There was definite 'touching'."
