1. At Speedway gas station, something odd started happening one foggy morning. A little boy, standing next to his dad’s car, suddenly pointed and exclaimed, ‘Dad, look! The pump is talking!’ The father looked puzzled but leaned in closer to hear what the pump was saying. Turns out, it was just an old delivery driver, leaning on the nozzle, dozing off after a long night. 'Hey kid,' he mumbled, 'you wanna buy some coffee?'

2. At Speedway gas station, one night after closing, a delivery driver noticed an eerie glow coming from the storage room. Curious but cautious, he approached only to discover a sign taped on the door: ‘Open Only When Moon is Full.’ The delivery driver chuckled and thought, ‘Whoever put that up must be having some fun.’ He flipped off the lights and went home. Next morning, his supervisor asked why he hadn’t opened the storage room. With a straight face, he replied, ‘The moon wasn’t full last night.’

3. At Speedway gas station, one rainy afternoon, a regular exclaimed, ‘Did you see that car just drove off without paying?’ Everyone looked but saw nothing unusual. Suddenly, an old delivery driver appeared from behind the corner, sheepishly waving his empty receipt. 'I thought it was free on Wednesdays,' he said with a smile. Everyone burst out laughing, knowing full well it was Tuesday.

4. At Speedway gas station, one windy evening, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'If your car is running on empty, fill it up—you might never get back!' A delivery driver pulled in, his eyes wide with worry. ‘I’m down to my last drop!’ he exclaimed. The attendant smiled and nodded knowingly. Just then, an old neighbor walked in, filling his tank. He winked at the driver and said, ‘Don’t worry, sonny, I’ll keep an eye out for you.’
