Something Awful
The simple new puzzler. This one is simple.
This fellow pulls into a filling station, I guess you'd call them a gas station these days. And this fellow is driving a pickup truck.
And in the back of the pickup truck, he has a few gas cans, metal gas cans, which are empty, and he's going to fill them up so he can go back to the ranch and fill up the tractor, and the ATVs and the dirt bikes and the chainsaw and all that. So rather than take the cans out of the truck, which would be a lot of work, and wasted motion, he grabs the gas pump nozzle and jumps into the bed of the truck. And then he starts filling up the cans from there. From the bed of the truck.
The owner of the gas station from the other side of the parking lot sees this happening and he hears a noise. Everyone at the station hears a noise.
As the fellow was filling up one of the gas cans, the owner heard a noise. He comes running over to the truck saying, "Stop, stop! Don't do that!"
But it was too late. Something awful happened.
What happened? And why?
