On the Click and Clack car radio show on NPR I heard two related funny stories. One guy called to ask if they thought he was wasting his money on his daughter at college. When he asked if she was keeping the oil level in the car, she said No that she could not find a funnel small enough to go into the little tube where the dipstick and oil go.
The other was a lady who called in about her oil light staying on. They asked what she did about it and she said she covered it with black electrical tape.
