Surreal and Felicitous

My gas gauge was uncomfortably low upon my return to the city today. At the station, the gas pump instructed me to begin fueling without prepaying. Then it didn't charge me, so I asked the employees. Someone ahead of me had prepaid ten dollars, and then driven away, forgetting to pump any gas. I felt really bad for them, but, as the managers said, there was nothing that could be done! So I got ten dollars of free gasoline! Providence was looking over my financial shoulder, so to speak!

Sounds suspiciously like an Obama tactic. Did you notice any campaign stickers on the pump?
All this talk of change -I didn't realize he meant pocket change!

If you ask me, 'tis the devil's work. Yep, he's behind it!
