“You are in Oregon now” – shouted to us a woman at the gas station.
“All right” – shouted back Anil. Seeing a surprised look at my face, he added “In Oregon you can not tank a car yourself. You have to wait for a gas station employee to do it for you”.
“Aha” – I replied, raising my eyebrows in disbelief. I was surprised that from the sentence “You are in Oregon now” I was supposed to infer that I can not tank the car myself...

I do have to admit though that thanks to this interesting “welcome” to Oregon I’m bound to always remember not to dare to tank my car myself whenever I'm there.
