Of course, I guess that station can charge more than one car at the time, but if there ain't but one there....

From Youtube:
A 90 year old man goes to his annual physical exam and the doctor informs him that his health is excellent, especially considering his age.
The man responds that he not only takes care of himself but has a superb relationship with the Almighty. He says that when he gets up and goes to the bathroom at night the light comes on all by itself as soon as he gets to the bathroom and goes off all by itself when he is done.
The man leaves and the doctor calls the man's wife. He asks her if it is true that the light in the bathroom is set to come on when he goes there at night and shuts off when he is done.
The old man's wife replies. "Oh good lord! That means he is peeing in the refrigerator again!"

The Real Top Gun, as described by an USAF F-86D pilot:
The alarm goes off and the squadron scrambles.
Of the 24 F-86D's, half are down for maintenance.
Of the 12 that scramble, 6 fail to start.
Of the 6 that taxi out, two abort before reaching the runway.
Of the four that make it to the runway, two fail the run-up check.
Of the two that take off, one aborts soon after leaving the ground.
The lone scrambled Dog Sabre heads to intercept the bogie. Small wonder that in the event of an actual war, they were instructed to expend their rockets and then ram.

1952?

Could be USAF or ANG, mid-50's. The F-86D went into USAF service in 1952 and it took a while to work out the bugs. The ANG would have got them later.
The author of the article I recall flew them, and I'll have to see if I can find the article. The F-86D had an electronic engine controller that theoretically enabled the pilot to just advance the throttle while the controller managed the engine starting and spooling up. But the electronic controller used vacuum tubes and that meant the controller itself had to warm up, so they had to carefully advance the throttle and wait a bit.
