Sub-lesson (a): The Art of Peeking at Gas Stations
Yes, we've all done it. Approaching a gas station at high speeds, squinting at the prices, wondering if we'll need a second job to afford that last bit of fuel. And oh, the relief when the bright red '96.9 Gazillion' morphs into a sunlight-defying '1.96.'

This one's gonna stick... eventually.' So keep laughing, keep learning, and always carry a spare... just in case. Your next life lesson might be around the corner, and by golly, you don't want to arrive unprepared.
