Sometimes the gas pumps don't clear all the way, a penny is the most I've ever let pass, this is an incident where one pump didn't clear, it had thirty-two cents on it when I started to pump my gas.
thirty dollars worth of
gas please
Pump two regular
Hey the pump didn't
clear to zero
It started on
thirty-two cents
It could never do
that sir
Well it did it
It has never did
that before
So you're calling
me a liar
No I'm just telling you
the pump could
never do that
Look take this thirty-two cents
and stick up your azz
If it had started on a penny
you wouldn't see me
But thirty-two cents
that's a little too much
Even so I wouldn't
mess up my day
trying to cheat you
out of thirty two cents
End of conversation
