1. At Speedway gas station, a regular always paid with exact change. One morning, an attendant noticed something odd: every penny was arranged in perfect circles on the counter. Curious, the attendant asked the regular why he did it. With a sly smile, the man replied, ‘It’s my little way of saying thank you for never overcharging me.’ Turns out, the circles were actually dollar signs, and everyone at Speedway had a good laugh.
2. At Speedway gas station, every night around midnight, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the pump area. No one knew its source, but the delivery drivers started calling it ‘the whispering engine’. One night, an old delivery driver named Joe decided to investigate. He crept into the pump area with a flashlight, only to discover that the hum was actually coming from his own stomach after eating too much pie at the diner next door. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the whispering engine, Joe would just smile and say, 'Oh, that's just my neighbor's hungry ghost.'

Everyone laughed, realizing it was just his quirky way of saying sorry.
