1. At Speedway gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the pump display: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee!’ He laughed it off until his next stop—where the same message appeared again. Curious, he filled up and indeed got a free coffee voucher. Word spread quickly among drivers, and soon everyone was stopping at Speedway for their lucky fill-up. One morning, the manager announced over the intercom: 'Today’s special: Fill up and win a free coffee… or just pay full price!' Everyone burst out laughing, but the delivery driver knew better—he had already won the best joke of the week.

2. At Speedway gas station late one night, a delivery driver filled up and headed inside for a drink. As he passed the snack counter, a small dog darted out from under the counter, yapping excitedly and pointing towards the cash register. Curious, the driver bent down to scratch the pup’s head. Suddenly, the cashier called out, ‘Hey, that’s my dog!’ The delivery guy jumped back, startled but smiling. A regular customer, laughing, explained, ‘He always does that when I’m working.’

3. At Speedway gas station late one night, a delivery driver filled up and headed home. Suddenly, he heard an old man whispering from behind the pump: 'Fill it up, sonny, but don’t forget to check your change.' The delivery driver glanced around nervously, then quickly checked his change—only to discover he had received five dollars extra. With a smile, he looked back and saw nobody there. From that day on, whenever someone asked him for directions, he’d wink and say, ‘Just fill ’er up and check your change!’

4. At Speedway gas station late one night, a delivery driver filled up and headed home, only to notice an old man whispering into his car’s rearview mirror. The driver glanced back, but saw nothing but empty road. Curious, he looked in the mirror again—this time, it was just his reflection smiling sheepishly. Shaking his head, he drove off, muttering something about old folk pranks. The next morning, his neighbor stopped by with a new rearview mirror as a joke, saying, ‘Speedway must be haunted!’
