An anecdote of Mercedes's inventiveness in the previous century:Taking a wee break from the golf course, a famous american golfer was on tour in Scotland where he wasn't well known. He drove a borrowed 1978 Mercedes 450SL into a gas station. An attendant greets him with typical Scottish hospitality, Unaware who the golf pro is:"Top o' the mornin to ya."As the golfer gets out of the car two tees fall out of his pocket."So what are those things, laddie?" asks the attendant."They're called tees," replies the golfer."And what would ya be usin 'em for, now?" inquires the Scotsman."Well, they're for resting my balls on when I drive," replies the golf pro.
Aw, Jaysus, Mary an' Joseph!" exclaims the attendant. "Those fellas at Mercedes think of everything!"
