For those who find themselves making the "stick two fingers down your throat" gesture whenever that polar bear hugger commercial runs, try this on for size, or post your own:
The scene: "Pawn Stars" shop in Vegas
Guy walks in with a gas pump on a hand truck.
Rick Harrison: What do we have here?
Customer: A 2009 Wayne-Dresser gas pump
head shot of Rick: Time was, if you wanted your car to keep going, you always had to be stopping and buying gasoline for it. It was a real nuisance, it always seemed like you had to stop when you were in a hurry, but you had to do it. On top of that it was really expensive, and this was the machine that sucked the money out of your bank account. Oil companies loved them, but customers hated them.
RH: What were you looking to do, pawn it or sell it?
C: I'd like to sell it
RH: What were you looking to get out of it?
C: I'm into it for 15 grand. I'd like to get $300 for it.
RH: You know that's just not going to happen. People just don't want these things any more.
C: What can you offer me for it?
RH: I've got a buddy that converts these things to vacuum cleaners. I'll give you like 20 bucks for it, take it or leave it.
C: OK, deal.
RH: Let's go do some paperwork. CHUMLEE! Take this thing to the back!
Announcer over beauty shot of car: The Nissan Leaf... never needs a gas pump.
scene behind the pawn shop: Chumlee vacuuming out a Leaf parked behind the shop with a converted gas pump vacuum cleaner... Old man walks up "Aren't you done cleaning out that car?" and gets in and drives away.
