Note: This guy is the shiniest, most suit-wearing, conscientious, friendly, customer-experience-oriented employee, like, EVER. He’s adorable. You want to put him in your pocket. And give him a raise.
I pre-paid for 1/2 tank of gas with car rental. Returning it with 1/4 tank:
Me: “I tried really hard to use it up. I was idling, driving over penguins…”
Him: “…how does driving over penguins help?”
Me: “More environmentally destructive?”
Him: “Ah.”
(does inspection)
Him: “Well, looks good… no penguin blood.”
Me: “It rained.”
…later…
Him: “Y’know, there’s not a lot of people you can make penguin blood jokes with.”
…later still…
Him: “And how was everything, how was the service? Was there anything I could have done better?”
Me: “Oh no. Though… joking about penguin blood. That’s just off-colour. I mean really.”

ETA: Then he offered me an umbrella for the walk home. Buddy is unflappable. Like a dead penguin. GET IT! Thank you! I’ll be here all week!
I sense the development of a host of “dead penguin” jokes. Which are almost as much fun as blue elephant ones.
Was he hot? 😉
Rachel — You and Matt asked exactly the same question. 🙂
Matt would have found him hot, yes. 🙂
