Pumping Petrol

I think this blog would not be complete without the story of how our crazy member pumped RM0 in the petrol station. It was one fine day that Calvin and his mum decided to pump petrol at a petrol station(the name of the petrol station escapes my memory). With his mum already paying RM60 to the petrol station worker, all it came down to was for Calvin to plug in the nozzle and start filling the car with petrol. Calvin did so without a hitch, lifting up the handle that gets the petrol going for a very short period of time, thinking that by doing so,a small pin would be there to hold it into place. After a given period of time, hearing what he thinks is the petrol tank full of petrol, Calvin replaces the cap, takes the receipt and with his mum, leaves the petrol station. While driving, Calvin's mum peers to the petrol meter and ponders on it's needle still being at the E. Calvin checks the receipt which he extracted from the machine to find that the total amount pumped was RM0. He soon found out that the handle had to be lifted up longer in place in order for the pin to kick in.
And it was another fine day in Mohsin that Calvin decides to tell us of his mishap in the petrol station, and we have been teasing him without a shadow of stopping ever since.
