This was just fuelish.
Pensacola, Fla., gas station employee Pam Pease couldn’t believe it when two men pulled up to pump gas into a blue 1994 Ford Escort with a missing hubcap.
It was her car – she had reported it stolen from the station just an hour earlier.
“It just blew my mind . . . I’m glad it was low on gas,” she said.
Here’s someone else who seems to be a little low on octane.
Pocatello, Idaho TV weatherman Scott Stevens has quit his job – two weeks after claiming on air that Hurricane Katrina was caused by Japanese gangsters using a Cold War era KGB electromagnetic generator.
Stevens was not forced out – he quit “so he could devote full time to this. He wants to get right at it,” said KPVI-TV station manager Bill Fouch.
And here’s a woman who was a little too tanked up.
She was discovered dozing on a sofa in a house in Ankeny, Iowa when the homeowner headed to bed after working on his computer late into the night in his basement.
His wife was upstairs in bed, and he had no idea who the woman was – only that she seemed “a little out of it.”
Police said she was intoxicated and hauled her off – to sleep it off elsewhere.
New Zealand’s election has turned into a dog fight, thanks to Toby, a Jack Russell terrier who just registered to vote.
The canine enfranchisement came after his owner, Peter Rhodes of Queenstown, completed an enrollment form in Toby’s name, giving his occupation as “rodent exterminator.”
Rhodes turned in the form with a squiggle and Toby’s paw print – and later got written confirmation.
Electoral officials said they’ll charge Rhodes with a crime.
A child in Frattamaggiore, Italy has won the $49.4 million jackpot in the national lottery.
Under Italian law, kids aren’t permitted to gamble, but they can take part in the lottery.
Locals are hoping the youngster will come forward “so we can have a huge party for him,” said one area resident.
Sure, and so they can send him the bill.
