LOL, now that's funny as well. Just think about all of the various cases out there that we've never even heard about.
Back on MARLIN's story for a moment-- the pour spout on a Diesel pump is intentionally bigger so it can't fit into a normal car's Unleaded filler neck pipe (thereby preventing Diesel going into an Unleaded car). However, the smaller Unleaded pour spout will easily fit inside the bigger filler neck pipe of a Diesel vehicle (as was the case with MARLIN's wifey). I guess mankind can only help prevent gender mistakes to a certain degree.
Maybe the fuel industry should change the pour spout and filler neck pipe for Diesel to an "Hour Glass" (inverted diamond shape like on a Black Widow spider). Basically, some other distinct shape that a common round pipe won't match up fitting. Then the round Unleaded pour spout won't fit into the Hour Glass shaped filler neck of a Diesel vehicle; and vice versa, the Hour Glass shaped Diesel pour spout still won't fit into a round shaped filler neck of a Unleaded vehicle (as is currently the case). Brilliant!!!
As for your idea, I doubt it would work. Diesel engines run for a LONG LONG time, so you would have to wait 10-20 yrs before you could swap out all the pump nozzles. How about all you regular gas users swap your filler pipes to the hourglass shape.

She responds "you have to change the oil?":

I actually like golf, but only if I'm playing with friends. Watching golf is about as boring as watching soccer. I played soccer in school but refuse to watch it. I think golf is nice to have a relaxing day, have a few drinks with your friends and get "away" sometimes. And on the lady driver's thing, how about we say MOST of them, not all. The percentage is high enough to say all but there are some that aren't bad. Like Liz Miles:
I sit and watch them get dirty and say things like "remember, righty tighty, lefty loosey". Or, "try not to get brake fluid everywhere", "don't scratch my truck". Training at its finest.
