Ted, a gas station owner, was enjoying his morning coffee when he saw a huge flying disc land at his gas station. The letters "UFO" were printed in bold on the sides of the craft. A green alien stepped from the saucer and asked the attendant to fill up his machine. As the station owner stood openmouthed, his young attendant nonchalantly filled up the tank and said goodbye to the alien as he took off. "Do you realize what just happened?" Ted asked the redhead attendant. "What happened?" asked the redhead. "Didn't you see that alien in the saucer?" Ted said, irritatingly. "Yes," said the attendant. "So?" "Didn't you see the letters 'UFO' on the side of that craft?" asked Ted. "I did," said the redhead. "So what?" "Don't you know what 'UFO' means?" asked Ted. The attendant rolled his eyes. "Gimme a break, boss. I have been working here for 5 years! Of course I know what 'UFO' means – Unleaded Fuel Only."
