Yeah, Pete Rose was heading up a cheerleadeer car wash at Hardee's last weekend and he accidentally mixed sand in the wash water bucket. He then passed out the "$20 dollars worth of free bodywork with every new paint job " discount cards as the folks dropped their donation in the big bucket. or wasthat an old Earl Scheib trick?
