1. At the Shell station, a regular exclaimed one morning, ‘I swear, that gas pump talks back!’ A delivery driver, frowning, replied, ‘You must be hearing things.’ Just then, the pump said in a gruff voice, ‘Full tank or what?’ The whole station burst out laughing, realizing it was just an old gas pump with a wonky microphone.’
2. At the Shell station, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a puzzled expression. 'Excuse me,' he said, 'but why does our gas now come with a warning: "May cause drowsiness"?' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, it’s because our gas is so powerful that it wakes you up from your boring life!’ The old man nodded thoughtfully before leaving, muttering under his breath, ‘Guess I’ll just have to drive slower then.’
3. At the Shell station, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why does the same old truck always pull up here?’ The attendant smiled and shrugged, replying with a wink, ‘Because it’s the only one that knows the secret shortcut through our back lot.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, then laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll keep coming back, then!’
4. At the Shell station, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Daddy, why is that car driving itself into the pump?’ The father smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, it’s just an automatic nozzle. It knows when to stop.’ The girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with another question: ‘But Daddy, how does it know not to fill up our car?’ A nearby mechanic overheard her and chuckled, ‘Because, sweetie, your dad pays for the gas!’
