I think I know that guy! Mr. Magoo?

Before his music career took off, Daryl Hall worked as a trucker for Quaker.
He was haulin’ oats.

A trucker came into  a Truck Stop Café and placed his order with the waitress.
He said "I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running
boards."

The brand new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the
kitchen and said to the cook, "This guy out there just ordered three flat
tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think
this place is, an auto parts store?"

"No," the cook said.  "'three flat tires' mean three pancakes; 'a pair of
headlights' are two eggs sunny side up; and 'a pair of running boards' are 2
slices of crisp bacon!"

"Oh.. OK!" said the blonde. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned
up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer.

The trucker asked, "What are the beans for, Blondie?"

She replied, "I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights
and running boards, you might as well gas up!"

Your friend,
