Pickin' up the truck

So it starts....All the simple things that turn out to be Brew Ha Ha's. I call Penske in the morning around 8:30am. And he says everything was Great and he would see me at 10am. So I get dropped off at Penske at 10 and he has no truck. Then 10 minutes later he informs he finds one. So in my own joking way I exclaim, "as long as its not a piece of crap". Then immeadiatly the young lady beside my reservation specialist exclaims "We do not have those here sir". At this time I want to break into one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes when Jerry is at the car rental desk waving his hands in the air saying " You all are great at taking the reservation you just have a problem holding the reservation".(See Video below) but I refrained. So then he points out the truck he has found me.....right outside the door, he tells me it has 69K mikes on it. then I look out the door and see a puddle on the asphalt which turns out to be transmission fluid from the "NOT a piece of crap they were wanting me to take". So NO truck for me. So then my Reservation Specialist informs me he has me a truck 15 miles away. So he has to check another truck out to me so I can drive over and pick it up. Now the silver lining comes I get a brand new truck with only 1100 miles on it. I Love my job.
