SALT LAKE CITY, June 4 (UPI) -- A woman was robbed at gunpoint for $15 worth of gas at a filling station in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The victim was pumping gas Sunday when two men who had parked next to each other approached her, The Salt Lake (Utah) Tribune reported Monday.

One of the men allegedly put something against the woman's and said it was a gun. He forced her to fill the tank of his Jeep Cherokee.

Police said the victim pumped $15 worth of gas before she hit the limit on her credit card and the suspects drove away. The vehicle had Wyoming plates, the woman said.

I think I posted this on the joke section but for those of you that don't search that section (like myself), here's the deal:

I'm getting older so I sought out an almost unheard of "full service" gas/filling station. I found one and being very cautious about the volatile fuel prices (thinking they may go down tomorrow), I asked the attendant for five bucks worth of gas. After a short pause: He farted and gave me a receipt!
