Car Illiterate

I took my car in to get an oil change today. When I went to pick it up, the mechanic told me that I also needed a transmission flush.

I responded, "You know, the thing about transmission flushes is that of all the cars my family has ever owned, none of them have ever had a transmission flush. And it seems to have been fine."

The mechanic returned (under his breath), "If you say so..."

I said, "Did you just say, 'if you say so?'"

He said, "Well, I'm not going to argue with you."

Okay then...

Picky Eater

Henri has decided that she does not like Iams cat food. We used to feed her just Iams cat food. We did a mix of hairball control and weight control. Then, one day we decided to mix Iams weight control with Meow Mix indoor. We ended up doing a taste test, and Henri preferred the Meow Mix. (The taste test was done extremely scientifically by leaving a pile of Meow Mix out and pile of Iams out, and observing which pile she went for.)
Anyway, we have been mixing the Iams and Meow Mix since then; we figured she still needed the weight control. So, in order to thwart our attempts at keeping her somewhat healthy, Henri has decided that she will not eat the Iams. She picks up a mouthful of catfood, sets it on the mat next to her bowl, and then proceeds to pick up the pieces of Meow Mix and leave the pieces of Iams behind.
B then brought up the fact that as Henri's weight has not changed over the course of 8 or so years, we may as well just give up on the Iams all the way and stick to the cheaper and better-liked Meow Mix.
Probably right...so the cat wins again.
