I probably wasn't clear in my message.  What I meant to say was that 
the engine was over 3/4 full (dip-stick read over 1/2) of oil when 
Rich took the bus in to get the tune up.

On top of that the mechanic ADDED 2 quarts!  I guess the dip-stick 
mechanic couldn't figure out how the dip-stick worked! (Pun intended!)
