These were the real answers he got. I'm not making this up. The first guy said, "Sorry. I'm new here." The second guy said, "I don't remember anything in the manual about that." Another guy said, "I'm not much for church myself, sir."
One guy gave him a leering look and a wink, whatever that meant.
However, most people just gave him a blank stare, cleaned his windshield; but he kept asking at all the Chevron stations. One day Mallory got a phone call from Chevron Customer Relations. He said, "We understand you've been asking our dealer questions and getting unsatisfactory answers."
The man suggested that he write out his question and send it to Chevron Corporate with a self-addressed stamped envelope. So Bill Mallory wrote, "What is the purpose of life?" and sent it to Chevron Gas Company. A couple of weeks later, the envelope was returned. The only thing in it was an application for a credit card!
If you want to know the purpose of life, you're not going to find it in a gas station. You're not going to find it on a talk show. You're not going to find it in a self-help book. You'r ...
