[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 258220, member: 6937"] LOL, that's a pretty funny one. Got one better, though. Shortly after I met my girlfriend about 16 years ago, we were riding down the road in her truck...and she had (and still has) a habit of running vehicles on fumes. Anyhow, we ran out of gas about a half mile from the nearest gas station. We walked there, and the plan was to buy one of those small 1 gallon plastic fuel cans and put some fuel in it, then walk back and put gas in the truck. Oh, but it would make too much sense for this particular gas station to have a few of those little cans on the aisle where they have oil,etc. It didn't occur to us to buy a gallon jug of water, dump it, and fill that with fuel. :roll: #-o So....and, I kid you not.....we grabbed a 'big gulp' cup, went out to the pump, and filled it to the top (which, at that time, was 52 cents), and put a lid on it. Managed to hitch a ride with somebody, (probably a good thing, my guess is that cup would have melted by the time we made the walk back to the truck) then we put the gas in it, and drove to the station.
