what song said

"The Great Filling Station Holdup"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0YPlflMv8A)
I had this tune in my head. 
Always loved it but never realized it was Jimmy Buffett doing country music    .:cool:

[size=1]I pulled into the regular pump
I was feelin' quite at ease
I rolled down my window and told the man
"Fifty cents worth, please"
Then out jumped my partner
With his trusty pellet gun
He said, "Boy, this is a holdup 
Keep pumpin' and don't run." [/size]

Congratulations Tim, well done.

Congratulations Tim!

Congratulations, Tim!

Thanks all!!

And thank you to Marc, Marcel, Chuck, Larry and Paul for picking our brains every week with the questions. I know it isn’t easy and you all take some flak from time to time (although I think that some, maybe all, of you enjoy it). :stuck_out_tongue:

I learn something new every week.

Tim

You’re welcome.

THAT is why we do it. :smiley:

Well, that …and, exercising our own brains…we all learn.

Thank you, Tim. :smiley:

Good questions Marc thanks for your time!
