A woman buys a new ice cream flavor every night, but her car won't start whenever she buys vanilla. Why?
Hint: Vanilla is the fastest to buy.
Vanilla is at the front of the shop, so she's back too quickly for the engine's vapor lock to clear.
Other flavors take longer to pick, which gives the engine time to cool. This is based on a famous true-story car complaint.
